GAZA, (PIC)– The Hamas Movement said that de facto president Mahmoud Abbas has no legal and political authority to sign a final peace agreement with the Israeli occupation state.

Its spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Quds Press on Friday that the attempts made by Abbas, Israel and some Arab countries to use the Arab preoccupation with internal events in order to produce a final peace agreement undermining the Palestinian cause would not succeed.

“Mahmoud Abbas legally exceeded his term of office and now he is working within a national consensus, so any violation of this consensus means that Abbas has lost his legitimacy,” spokesman Abu Zuhri underlined.

“Therefore, Abbas has no right to individually engage in such negotiations, not to mention that he is not entitled to sign an agreement with the occupation,” the spokesman added.

“The national rights and constants cannot be waived by any Palestinian party or official even if a referendum is held on that because it will be a vote on rights and constants,” he stressed.

He also emphasized that Hamas and the other Palestinian resistance factions would not allow Abbas and his negotiators to sign any agreement liquidating the Palestinian rights and constants.

“There is a Palestinian national consensus on the failure of the Oslo accord and that it has brought a disaster for the Palestinian people. Some people like Qurei, who still believe in Oslo, are isolated from the Palestinian people and do not express the true Palestinian position,” he stated.

This came in response to Ahmed Qurei, senior executive member of the Palestine liberation organization (PLO), who stated that Abbas is authorized to negotiate with the Israeli side and sign a final peace agreement with it without the consent of the Palestinian people.

He added that Abbas can make any fateful decrees or agreements with Israel even if his decisions were disapproved by most of the Palestinian people.

Qurei made his remarks in an interview conducted on Friday by a Hebrew radio on the 20th anniversary of the Oslo agreement which was signed on September 13, 1993.
