The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the media to expose
the intentions of the United States administration. The patronage of the
US to Israel is well known, but the Ministry said Wednesday that the
common blockade has taken the siege to another level. Today’s Ministry
statement read, “The United States has once again opened its
interventions in internal Palestinian relations.” <br><br>
The document continued, “Their desire is to cause a devastating impact on
Palestinian reality, destroying sustainability. The attempts to undermine
efforts to form a unity government based on the National Accord Document
are glaring.” <br><br>
The United States began an immediate political and economic boycott when
the Hamas party took office after being democratically elected early this
year. Israel stopped paying owed taxes and both Israel and the US tried
to force the Palestinian leadership to jump through more hoops. <br><br>
Before Hamas, the Israelis would not deal with President Abbas. After
Hamas, the Israelis would not deal with Hamas, only President Abbas. But
the Israelis claimed Hamas was in the way of reaching Abbas. However
Hamas invited the Israelis to deal with President Abbas; the same man the
Israelis would not deal with before. <br><br>
President Arafat suffered the same web, the so-called “generous offer,”
to give away the land, with the Israelis dishonoring every ruling,
international law and United Nations resolution against it. Yet still the
Israelis are seen widely as the victims of the people they occupy.
<br><br>
The Foreign Affairs Ministry statement continued, “What was said by the
American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on betting on internal
Palestinian divisions to form a government to respond to international
pressure reflects the American-Israeli conspiracy against the people and
the attempts to split the national unity and the internal factions.”
<br><br>
The Ministry wrote, “Nothing is acceptable unless it bends to the
American-Israeli will and if we do not stop this now, the Palestinian
cabinet will be hand-picked by the White House in keeping with Rice’s
most blunt threats yet.” <br><br>
