Radwan: Implementing reconciliation the practical response to Netanyahu

[ 28/04/2011 - 08:40 AM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Ismail Radwan, a senior Hamas official, said that the proper response to Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu's comment on the national reconciliation was to sign and implement it.

Radwan in a press statement on Wednesday said that the practical response should also include insisting on national constants and halting political and security meetings with the Israeli occupation authority.

The Hamas leader said his movement appreciated the Egyptian efforts towards forging reconciliation, adding that the final signing of the agreement would take place next Wednesday in Cairo in the presence of all Palestinian factions, Hamas supreme leader Khaled Mishaal, Palestinian premier in Gaza Ismail Haneyya, and Fatah leader (and de facto president) Mahmoud Abbas.

Netanyahu said that Abbas should choose between peace with Israel and peace with Hamas.
