(ANSAmed) - GAZA, APRIL 30 - One of Hamas political leaders
has said that Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been holding talks
for unity. Speaking to Anatolia news agency correspondent in
Gaza Strip, Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar said that
''unfortunately direct peace talks between Hamas and Fatah have
ceased.''
Al-Zahar said peace talks have reached the end of the road
due to ''irresponsible stance'' by Fatah during talks. ''Fatah
was under pressure by Israeli government, but it refrained from
telling it,'' he said, adding that some circles in Fatah tried
to prevent agreement. Al-Zahar said Hamas and Islamic Jihad have
been holding talks for unity, stating that Hamas and Islamic
Jihad had common goals. (ANSAmed).
