The Hamas terrorist group which controls Gaza was quick to pour cold water on U.S. Secretary of State John KerryÂ’s announcement that peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority would resume.
"Hamas rejects Kerry's announcement of a return to talks and considers the Palestinian Authority's return to negotiations with the occupation to be at odds with the national consensus," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP on Friday, after Kerry announced at a press conference in Amman that negotiators from both sides will be meeting in Washington next week.
Abu Zuhri said that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who heads Hamas’s longtime rival faction Fatah, had no legitimate right to negotiate on behalf of “the Palestinian people.”
Ihab al-Ghassin, spokesman for the Hamas government, also told AFP that "whoever negotiates on the part of the people who is not chosen by them, represents only himself. The Palestinian people will not accept this."
Just one more reason why there will never be a " palestinian state"
