Deputy Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil Al-Hayya said that the reconciliation efforts with rival faction Fatah can only begin after the latter lifts sanctions imposed on Gaza, Al-Resalah newspaper reported yesterday.

In an interview with the paper, he said that the sanctions imposed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), which is headed by Fatah, “represent a humanitarian and national crime”.
He also said that another condition to achieve a reconciliation is the agreement on holding a National Council that includes all the Palestinian parties.
On the other hand, other groups who fall under the influence of the corrupt and politically bankrupt Abbas/PA are also working against those who refuse to submit to their illegitimate authority, collaborating with the colonizing/occupying forces and imposing sanctions on Gaza

Al-Hayya called for Fatah to review its view about the reconciliation and to understand Hamas’ position regarding it.
He said:
“Fatah must recognize that it mistook reading Hamas’ position and it must meet the national demands that include lifting the sanctions imposed on Gaza.”
