Senior Fatah official calls on Hamas to carry the rifle and fight Israel
Official PA TV program State of Politics hosts Fatah Central Committee member and Fatah Commissioner for Arab and China Relations Abbas Zaki, who calls on Hamas to help the PA’s political struggle through warfare against Israel
Fatah Central Committee member and Fatah Commissioner for Arab and China Relations Abbas Zaki: [Discussing the failure of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Turkey] “I propose that Hamas (i.e., as a Gazan offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood) return [to being] Palestinian in order to save itself, so that it will at the very least save and preserve the days in which they said of it: ‘self-sacrificing fighters’ (Fedayeen); it is a pity, a pity. Therefore I say that Hamas’ project is over unless it will return to carrying the rifle and will fight, and we will welcome that even Hamas will fight.”
