Hamas unveils new government program
www.chinaview.cn 2006-03-12 08:41:16

    GAZA, March 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The new Hamas-led Palestinian cabinet would review all previously signed agreements with Israel,according to a copy of the government program obtained by Xinhua on Saturday night.

    "The cabinet would deal with the reality that was resulted from the previous accords reached between the Palestinian Authority and the state of the occupation," it said.

    "The government has the right to reconsider these accords on the base of respecting the international law and implement its text to protect the rights and interests of the Palestinian people."

    The Hamas political program doesn't make clear commitment to the previous peace accords between the Palestinians and Israel,Fatah movement spokesman in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) Azzam el-Ahmad told reporters.

    The program, which was presented to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on Friday by Hamas Prime Minister-designate Ismail Haneya, also set conditions for Hamas to consider peace talks with Israel.

    "If Israel recognized the Palestinian national rights and withdrew from all the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 including the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, we would examine a mechanism for negotiations," the program said.

    The program vowed to end the Israeli occupation, establish an independent and full sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, cling to the refugees right of return and work on freeing the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

    The program stresses that armed resistance is a legal right for the Palestinian people to end the occupation and achieve their national legitimate rights.

    Hamas, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel, was threatened with the U.S.-led international isolation following its stunning victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections on Jan. 25.

    Israel and the West refused to talk with the militant group unless it met their demand to renounce violence, recognize Israel's right to exist and accept previous deals including the roadmap peace plan which points the way to a two-state solution. Enditem
