“Hamas: We will not Recognize Abbass Announcement of Unity Government”

June 2nd, 2014

Abbas set to announce unity gov't despite unresolved internal disputes; Hamas states it will consider the announcement a "unilateral step" by Fatah.

Hamas has informed Fatah of its opposition to the Palestinian unity government, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.

"Hamas's final position is that we don't agree to the formation of a government that does not include a Ministry for Prisoners Affairs," Abu Zuhri said.

The Hamas spokesman said his movement would consider Palestinian Authority President's announcement of the new government a "unilateral" step. Hamas, he added, will not recognize this announcement.

The announcement is expected to come on Monday at 1 p.m.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called an emergency cabinet meeting a night ahead of the planned Palestinian Authority-Hamas formal unity government declaration.
