The Islamic Resistance Movement-Hamas announced on Saturday the conclusions of its meetings on the developments related to the intra-Palestinian affairs.

The announcement came after the important summit held by secretaries-general of Palestinian factions in Ramallah and Beirut at the beginning of September, and the bilateral talks in Istanbul between Hamas and Fatah officials on 22-23 September 2020 as a preliminary stage of a comprehensive Palestinian dialogue in which an understanding was reached between Hamas and Fatah delegations to be presented to all Palestinian factions.

The leadership lauded the understanding reached between the two movements, confirming that it was introduced to all Palestinian factions for discussion and that bilateral talks with Fatah, despite their importance, were not an alternative to the comprehensive Palestinian dialogue.

The leadership stressed that national partnership and achieving unity are a strategic and compelling option for Hamas, Fatah, and all political factions. "There is no alternative for unity, which is the only guarantee to achieve our people’s aspirations for the liberation of their lands and holy sites and return to their homeland."

"National partnership revolves around restructuring the entire Palestinian political system on the basis of true democratic principles through inclusive, fair, and transparent elections in all Palestinian territories, above all occupied Jerusalem, in line with a national consensus to guarantee the participation of all Palestinian segments in various Palestinian institutions, in which they are entitled to take part, starting from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and all bodies affiliated to it," it underscored.

Furthermore, the Hamas leadership confirmed that it will spare no effort to achieve partnership and unity until unifying all Palestinians in the face of Israel, which continues to defile their land and holy sites.

Hamas also reaffirmed the necessity to clear the internal atmosphere and create an environment of freedoms and pluralism and settle all disputed matters to ensure the success of unity, partnership, and reconciliation in a way that wins the trust of the Palestinian people in the efforts being exerted to restore national unity.

It called for forming a unified Palestinian leadership immediately and embarking upon fieldwork without hesitation.

Hamas restated the necessity to hold comprehensive intra-Palestinian talks with the participation of all Palestinian factions immediately and agree on a roadmap to achieve partnership and reconciliation.
