Hamas Spokesman: Kerry marketing illusions

Hamas described US secretary of state John Kerry’s statement about approaching peace between Palestinians and Israelis as deceptive.

Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas, said in a statement on Saturday that Kerry’s remarks, which also asked for extending timeframe for the Palestinian-Israeli negotiation, pointed to its failure.

He said that Kerry was trying to market illusions when speaking about unreal accomplishments.

“All that Kerry and the American administration want is to gain more time to implement the Zio-American project of stabilizing the existence of the Hebrew state at the expense of the Palestinian people’s rights and security”.

Barhoum said that continuation of the negotiations with Israel would lead to “catastrophic results on our people and holy shrines”.
