Dahlan: Hamas prevents resistance, gets nothing from Israel
Muhammad Dahlan, Senior Fatah MP, at a press conference in Ramallah at a Fatah Revolutionary Council assembly, reported by WAFA and also broadcast on PA TV:
"[Muhammad Dahlan] directed attention to the fixed position of Hamas, evading reconciliation [with Fatah] at all times – prior to the aggression over Gaza and afterwards. He demanded that [Hamas] halt the farce of resistance, and pointed out that it is Hamas that is preventing ‘the resistance’ and maintaining a ceasefire with nothing [obtained from Israel] in return. He asked: ‘Are we preventing them from laying siege on Tel Aviv?’"
