Abu Zuhri: Hamas did not and will not interfere in Egyptian affairs

Hamas movement refused statements by Othman Yasser, the Egyptian ambassador to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, that asked Hamas not to interfere in Egyptian internal affairs.

Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said in a press release on Saturday that statements attributed to Yasser was an attempt to cover for the Egyptian media’s unprecedented incitement campaign against Hamas and the Palestinian people.

He affirmed that Hamas did not and will not interfere in Egyptian internal affairs, calling for an end to the campaign of lies and deception against the Palestinian people and its resistance.

Shifting to another issue, Abu Zuhri described as “cheap” political stand the demands by PLO factions to Hamas to give up its Islamic ideology.

“If these factions still have an iota of credibility, they should rather stop supporting those who maintain security coordination with the occupier”, he added.
