Press Release issued by the spokesperson of  the Islamic Resistance Movement ' Hamas', Fawzi Barhoum: 

The Palestinian Authority’s previous  trial of recently executed, , martyr Basil Al Araj, and five prisoners in the Israeli prisons is a serious action which aims to damage the reputation of the resistance, struggle and the sacrifices of the Palestinian people. It is a disgrace and a national and moral decline.Hence, the Palestinian people with all forces and factions must work together to put an end to the ill- reputed Palestinian authority and its institutions and forces, and to take needed steps to  protect our people ,our prisoners and their sacrifices from these actions which serve no one but the occupation and its schemes.
