Hamas and Islamic Jihad Reject PA Platform that Excludes "Armed Struggle"
[Maan News-PA] Hamas and Islamic Jihad announced Sunday in Gaza their rejection of the PA's new official platform, which for the first time does not include a reference to "armed struggle" against the Israeli occupation. The platform was adopted Friday by the caretaker government headed by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. In a statement, the two movements said: "No one can delete resistance from the Palestinians' agenda." Hamas and Islamic Jihad also criticized the PA's decision to allow Palestinians stranded Egypt to return to Gaza through Israeli-controlled border crossings. They said they view Israeli conditions for their transfer as unacceptable.
