Member of Hamas political bureau Ezzat al-Resheq slammed Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas’s statements against Hamas, saying that he aims at disrupting Jerusalem Intifada.

In a press statement on Tuesday, Resheq said that Abbas’s statements in which he accused Hamas of holding direct negotiation with Israel are false and fabricated. 

Abbas also accused Hamas of attempting to annex an area of the Sinai to the Gaza Strip.

Resheq said that Abbas, whose statements were voiced during his latest visit to Cairo, has been coordinating with Israel for 20 years against the Palestinian people and resistance.

On his part, Mousa Abu Marzook, member of Hamas political bureau, rejected Abbas’s allegations, confirming that Hamas neither negotiates with the Israeli occupation, nor will it recognize it.

"We have never had the idea of replacing one inch of Palestine with meters from other land, despite all calumnies and allegations made against us," Abu Marzook stated on his Facebook page on Monday.

"There is no emirate in Gaza, nor will be there any state without Gaza. Our desired country extends from the sea to the river, and if some people saw it wishes, we will make it a reality," he added.
