Fatah to Hamas: Unite with us under the PLO, Iran didn’t deliver the promised erasure of Israel

Fatah Spokesman in the Gaza Strip Mundhir Al-Hayek: "Logic dictates that Hamas needs to change, and we're not saying it should change its approach, doctrine, or thinking… We tell Hamas with love and an open heart: The only way and the only option is the PLO... Let's speak honestly – what has Iran done for us? Iran, which promised the Palestinian people to erase Israel out of existence yet didn't erase it and which promised to provide the Palestinian people with weapons, and we see how the confrontation in Gaza went, with locally produced weapons... Therefore, we say to the Hamas movement that the only option is to get the Palestinian house in order. Reliance on the axis, on Iran, or on any other country has proven to be a failure. What is better now is to unite."
