Hamas rejects Palestinian UN resolution

[Mosby]

The Palestinian draft resolution demanding Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and East Jerusalem will be brought to a vote at the UN Security Council by the end of 2014, PLO official Saeb Erekat told Russian media on Tuesday - but it has raised objections from some Palestinian factions, including Hamas.

Hamas spokesman in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, called on the Palestinian Authority to withdraw the resolution, saying it "doesn't represent consensus of the Palestinian people," Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), a far-left Marxist–Leninist faction, also urged the PA to "immediately withdraw" the draft resolution, saying the Palestinian leadership was presenting a confusing picture of the bid, according to Palestinian news agency Ma'an.

"They have been presenting it before the political bazaar at international level for bids, then they claim they are making amendments as if it has been submitted by others," the group said in a statement.

"Both the original version and the amended version, including the French and British remarks, is beyond repair and reform, and should be withdrawn immediately without delay," following which all Palestinian factions will be invited for a national dialogue about the resolution, the group said.

What it would take for Hamas to support the resolution and what it would take for Israel/US to support the resolution are diametrically opposite one another.

7. However they all agree with the desired end result for this resolution

puts them on the same page

[shira]

8. Then it puts them on the same page as the Palestinian Left...

You support the Palestinian Left, correct?

Why don't you have a problem with their rejection of the UN bid?

9. The three-state solution

THE HAMAS TAKEOVER of Gaza last week revealed deep fissures within the Palestinian cause. The Americans, the Israelis and the Palestinians all might like to think these divisions are temporary, but the reality is not so simple. To a large extent, residents of Gaza and the West Bank are two different peoples, and the idea of a three-state solution — Israel, plus a Hamas-run Gaza and a Fatah-governed West Bank — makes historical sense.
