Abu Marzouk: The meeting between Abbas and Obama will not be fruitful

Hamas’s political bureau member Mousa Abu Marzouk said that the meeting that took place on Monday between de facto president Mahmoud Abbas and US president Barack Obama would not engender positive results.

“Why will the other side give you something while you are in a difficult situation internally and the Arab surrounding around you is much worse, not to mention that there are international and regional priorities other than the Palestinian cause?” Abu Marzouk said addressing Abbas on his facebook page.

“There are also an American sponsor that cannot disengage from the entanglements of AIPAC and the Zionist vision of the conflict,” he added.

The Hamas official expressed his belief that Abbas was summoned and not invited to meet with Obama, who aims to push ahead with Kerry’s peace mission and spare it any failure, regardless of its achievement of the Palestinian aspirations or not.

In a related context, political science professor Abdul-Sattar Qasem expressed fear that the Zionists and the Americans could achieve their plan to liquidate the Palestinian cause through wagering on the negotiations with the Palestinian Authority and imposing their vision of the final solution.

Qasem ruled out, in a press remarks to Quds Press, that the meeting between Abbas and Obama in Washington could realize any Palestinian demands.

“President Mahmoud Abbas…is a weak man having no charisma of a leader. It is known that he entered the realm of politics through the American support. It was Washington which created the position of prime ministry for him and brought him to power, so it is unlikely that he could stand before the president of the largest and greatest country in the world to speak bravely about the Palestinian rights,” he added.

“What we will see today is no more than an enslavement scene, in which president Obama will speak and president Mahmoud Abbas will listen,” Qasem emphasized.
