Fatah and Hamas oppose American intervention "against our sister, the Syrian Republic"
“The Palestinian factions, including Hamas, announced their opposition to any attack against Syria yesterday [Sept. 1, 2013]… after the American President, Barack Obama, announced his plan to strike a blow against the Syrian regime, which the American intelligence [services] accused of carrying out a chemical attack near Damascus in which hundreds were killed on Aug. 21.
After a meeting [held] in Gaza, which was attended by Fatah and Hamas, the factions said they ‘condemn the increasing American threats of launching an assault against our sister, the Syrian Republic…’
The national and Islamic forces emphasized that ‘our people and all its forces stand beside our brothers, the Syrian people, and oppose all forms of external intervention in the Syrian affair.’ They called [on] ‘international institutions and Arab foreign ministers to refrain from supporting the criminal aggression being planned by the USA.’
They demanded that every effort be made to spare Syria and the Syrian people more losses, and to act to find a political solution to the Syrian crisis, without any external intervention.”
