Top PA official: PA won’t rule Gaza without Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations

Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: “Political Islam (i.e., Hamas) has been part of our political and social fabric and the fabric of our struggle, and it still is, and it will remain, period. … We will not go to [govern] the Gaza Strip without national agreement that will include political Islam, whether it is our brothers in Hamas or our brothers in [Islamic] Jihad. This is impossible.”
