Member of Hamas Political Bureau Mousa Abu Marzouq said yesterday that his movement will not take part in the government which rival faction Fatah plans to form.

On Twitter, he wrote:

“Fatah leaders keep saying that Hamas will not be invited to be part of the upcoming government.”

He added:

“Who said that we will take part in the upcoming Vichy government, which is empty of any national content, which is in favor of division and preparing for the ‘deal of the century’, waives 78 percent of the land of Palestine.”

Previously, Abu Marzouq tweeted that,

“The Fatah Central Committee’s decision to form a government that excludes PLO factions highlights its anti-national steps aimed to deepen internal division and separate Gaza from the West Bank.”
