Barhoum: Kerry exploiting Arab weakness to impose his “disastrous” scheme

Hamas movement warned any local or Arab party against supporting the US secretary of state John Kerry’s so-called Framework Agreement.

Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman, said in a statement on Sunday that the Palestinian people did not authorize anyone to negotiate on their behalf and would not allow surrendering any of their rights regardless of sacrifices.

Kerry is apparently determined on marketing his “disastrous” scheme as evident in his shuttle visits to the region and the meeting today in Paris with foreign ministers of the Arab follow-up committee, the spokesman said.

He said that Kerry was exploiting the current state of Arab weakness and all American pressure cards to impose his scheme that only benefits American and Israeli goals and projects in the region.

Barhoum said that Kerry wants to impose recognition of Israel as a “Jewish state” and to liquidate the Palestine cause.

The Arab countries should support and protect the Palestinian people and their rights, steadfastness and resistance and to confront the American-Israeli plots targeting the Palestinian people and peoples of region at large, the spokesman concluded.
