4 Palestinian resistance factions slam Abbas’s decree on new govt., urge stronger resistance
Four Palestinian resistance factions have criticized President Mahmoud Abbas for appointing his longtime economic adviser Mohammed Mustafa as the next prime minister, urging the Fatah movement to take serious and effective measures that best serve the Palestinian cause at the current critical juncture.
Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Palestinian National Initiative, in a joint statement released on Friday, underscored that “it is of utmost importance to highlight that the primary focus of our nation should be on countering the Israeli aggression, and the unrelenting genocide and starvation which besieged Palestinians in Gaza are exposed to.”
The statement added, “We must, at the same time, address the crimes being committed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds, and deter any Israeli scenario that seeks to forcibly displace Palestinians.”
The factions stated that taking solitary decisions, like the formation of a new government without national consensus, only strengthens the culture of exclusivity and worsens internal divisions.
