Gaza – Ma’an – Member of Hamas' parliamentary bloc, Khalil Al-Haya said that the movement is receiving fianacial, political and moral support from Iran, "without paying any political price," and welcomed every Islamic and Arab relation that would support the Palestinians and their resistance, he said on Sunday.
While reiterating that Hamas would not sign the Egyptian-backed reconciliation proposal without discussing the movement's ammendents, Al-Haya said that 2010 would be the year to restore unity between the West Bank and Gaza and to strengthen political partnerships under one government's rule throughout the territories. This, he said, would be under a unifed Palestinian Authority, Palestinian Legilstative Council and Palestinian Liberation Organization that represents all Palestinian political parties, "supporting resistance in confronting the Israel occupation."
"At this stage, Hamas' priorities are to strengthen Palestinian rights, in particular the right to resistance and to librate their land by restoring security and empowering political partnerships by encouraging transparency of organizations affiliated to the PA and breaking the siege imposed on Gaza," Al-Haya said.
