Head of Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh has called for adopting an effective national plan capable of rising to the challenges imposed by the current Israeli occupation government.
Speaking at a meeting for the Palestinian secretaries-general in Cairo, Haniyeh explained that the plan should be based on five principles.
Among them are terminating the Oslo Accords, acknowledging that the major Palestinian struggle is with the Israeli occupation and that the Palestinian people have entered a national liberation phase, embracing political partnership based on democratic elections, reaffirming that the Palestinian cause is a national Arab, Islamic and humanitarian issue with Jerusalem at its heart.
To put such a plan into effect, Haniyeh called for embracing the option of comprehensive resistance and supporting the Palestinian people in their fight against the Israeli occupation and colonial settlers.
The Hamas chief also demanded an end to all forms of security collaboration with the Israeli occupation and political arrests against Palestinians.
To ensure the success of such plan, Haniyeh called for forming a factional committee to follow up with the outcomes of the Egyption-brokered meeting.
Haniyeh reaffirmed the necessity for setting up an approach to restructure the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) on the basis of holding elections and achieving national consensus.
