  Resheq: Abbas’s speech aligns with Israeli demands

Ezzat al-Resheq, a member of the Political Bureau of the Hamas Movement, 
expressed regret over Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s 
condemnation of the resistance during his speech at the high-level 
international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian 
issue and the implementation of the two-state solution, held in New York 
last Monday night.

“It is regrettable that President Mahmoud Abbas, in his address, 
condemned the struggle and resistance of his own people against one of 
the most brutal occupations in history. His remarks align with the 
fascist occupation’s demands to disarm the resistance, at a time when 
the occupation and its settlers are wreaking havoc in towns and villages 
across the occupied West Bank, and waging the most destructive war of 
extermination against our people in Gaza,” al-Resheq said.

Commenting on Abbas’s rejection of any role for Hamas in governing Gaza, 
al-Resheq said, “This position reflects an unacceptable submission to 
external pressure and dictates. It deviates from the foundations of 
internal national relations and the outcomes of national dialogue rounds 
and signed agreements. It is also a violation of the Palestinian 
people’s free will to determine their leadership and governance.”

“These disappointing stances come as President Abbas is being denied 
access to the UN General Assembly in New York, while the occupation 
clearly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state and moves 
forward with plans to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, reoccupy 
Gaza, annex the West Bank, and Judaize Jerusalem.”

Al-Resheq emphasized that “our Palestinian people expect the leadership 
of the Authority to adopt serious national positions that break away 
from the formulas the occupation is trying to impose. At the forefront 
of this is rejecting foreign dictates and halting security coordination 
with the occupation, and moving toward national unity to confront the 
fascist occupation, until we achieve our people’s aspirations for 
freedom, dignity, and the establishment of a Palestinian state with 
Jerusalem as its capital.”

Abbas’s speech at the Two-State Solution Conference sparked widespread 
controversy, with many describing it as “shocking.” Critics pointed to 
his congratulations to Israel on its holidays while it wages a genocidal 
war against the Palestinian people and his attack on resistance factions.
