PA mulling ‘all options’ against Zionist regime
According to Press TV, the Palestinian Authority says it is considering all options in response to Zionist regime’s decision to punish the group over a unity deal with Hamas.
The chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said on Thursday that Palestinians consider “all options” in response to the Zionist regime’s decision for sanctions.
Media outlets quoted Erekat as saying: “The Palestinian leadership will look into all options to respond to the Zionist regime’s government decisions against the PA.”
He added that the Palestinians will respond to Zionist regime’s decision, but reconciliation and national unity remain the current priorities for them.
Erekat stressed that Palestinian reconciliation is an internal affair and the Zionist regime has no right to interfere in the issue. He also condemned any possible Zionist regime’s sanctions as piracy.
The PA official went on to say that the Zionist regime used the split between the Palestinian factions as an excuse to reject a peace agreement in the past, and today they are using Palestinian reconciliation as an excuse for the same thing. Under the long-awaited deal, the rival Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatah are to form a unity government within five weeks and hold national elections six months later.
