Hamas: The talk about progress in PA-Israeli negotiations is a new trick

Palestinian Information Center, May 6, 2008

GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement stated Tuesday that the talk about progress in PA-Israeli negotiations is a new trick to mislead the Palestinian and international public opinion, adding that such rumors were issued at the request of US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice to serve as face saving for the American Administration.

In a press statement received by the PIC, Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman, explained that this trick is used after the disclosure of the false promises made by US president George Bush to PA chief Mahmoud Abbas in Annapolis and during their last meeting.

Barhoum said that the talk about such progress is also aimed to cover up for the state of bankruptcy that afflicted Abbas and his negotiators after thirty negotiation sessions without being able to convince Israelis to remove one barrier hindering the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank.
