In an interview with Al-Jazeera, the leader of Hamas abroad attacked the ousted Fatah man and claimed that there are Palestinian elements who "want control over them" • Dahlan camp: "Inventions and delusions" • In the same interview Mashal called on Saudi Arabia to release the imprisoned Hamas prisoners in its territory


The rivalry between Fatah and Hamas regarding the internal Palestinian division refuses to die down. In an interview with the Aljazeera network, the leader of Hamas abroad, Khaled Mashal, accused the ousted Fatah member Muhammad Dahlan of a conspiracy that prevented the end of the division between the two Palestinian organizations.

In an extensive interview for the program "The Other Side" that aired this weekend on the Qatari channel, Mashal expressed disappointment at the failure of the efforts made over the years to end the division between Gaza and Ramallah.

When asked about the reasons that led to the violation of the "Mecca Agreement" signed between the two Palestinian organizations in 2007, he replied: "It hurts that until now we have not been able to actually end the division despite the repeated attempts. The first reason is the external interventions. Who blew up the situation? The international community did not accept the The results of the 2006 elections, in which Hamas won, there was also Israeli pressure."

"The second reason is Palestinian elements who do not accept the idea of ​​partnership and want control with them. I told our people in Fatah, you will not be able to eliminate us and we will not be able to eliminate you.

We signed the Mecca Agreement in 2007.

"Mohammed Dahlan worked to sign the Makkah Agreement in order to take time, some thought that in a short time it would be possible to eliminate Hamas, he was the one who conspired," Mashal accused.

Dahlan's associates claimed: "He had an unusual relationship with the founders of Hamas"

The statement caused a media uproar and the Dahlan camp was outraged.

In the "Democratic Reform Stream", headed by Muhammad Dahlan, they fired back and said that it was fabrications and deception.

"Dahlan was one of the first to call for national unity, and an unusual connection connected him with the founding leaders of Hamas. If Meshaal claims that Dahlan is the cause of the rivalry, then how is it that for 12 years, a period in which Dahlan did not hold an official position in decision-making circles, they were unable to achieve reconciliation?"

In another matter, Mashal said that during his visit to the Gaza Strip about a decade ago, he met what is considered to be the Chief of Staff of Hamas - Muhammad Daf. He described Daf as "an exemplary figure who fights in Israel and does not stop for a moment with a brilliant mind and a strong will."

Meshal also criticized Saudi Arabia for the arrests of dozens of Hamas members imprisoned in its territory.

"We do not interfere in the affairs of other countries. But there is no reason for these arrests in Saudi Arabia, they are wrong. If you think that Hamas members are a burden on you, expel them from your territory, but let them be imprisoned? What are they in prison for, for their membership in Hamas? I call on the Saudis to release them." , said Mashal.

We will remind that Khaled Meshaal has been in Jordan for the last few days and on Friday he visited his parents' grave in Amman.
