Advisor of Abu Mazen says that Hamas must recognize Isreal


Ahmed Abbed A-Rahman, an advisor to Palestinian president, Abu Mazen, responded today to statements made by Palestinian PM, Ismayel Haniyeh on his vist to Iran. Haniyeh declared that Hamas will never recognize Israel. A-Rahman said that Haniyeh's statement proves that Hamas cannot be part of a national unity government and that Haniyeh must accept all agreements signed by the Palestinian Authority. Haniyeh said that Hamas will not surrender an inch of the land on which Israel now stand.
This comes as once again hectic negotiations to establish a national unity government are underway between the Palestinian factions, mainly Fatah and Hamas.
Earler today tens of thousands Hamas supporters rallied in Gaza and called for Haniyeh to refuse to relinquish his seat even if it forestalls the establishment of a national unity government.
