Bethlehem - Ma'an - Speaker of Fatah bloc in the Palestinian Legislative
Council (PLC), Azzam Al-Ahmad, said on Monday that notions of "elimination
and replacement" dominated Hamas' understanding of the nature of elections.

Al-Ahmad held a press conference in Ramallah, in the central West Bank, in
order to comment on the public address of deposed Prime Minister, Ismail
Haniyeh, on Sunday. Al-Ahmad said that Hamas devastated all Palestinian
institutions.

Al-Ahmad accused Hamas of disabling the PLC by being antagonistic towards
the political partnership. "Hamas wants to establish a state which they do
not deserve and they must talk reasonably about the law."

Al-Ahmad alleged that those who committed the military coup in Gaza are the
same people that established the Hamas-affiliated Executive Force and
refused to assimilate it into the Palestinian security forces.

"The mutiny trend within Hamas, comprises those who rejected the Mecca
agreement and dubbed it 'Al-Hudaybiya Reconciliation' [a treaty between the
prophet Mohammad and his rival clan of Quraysh, who opposed Islam]," says
Al-Ahmad.

Al-Ahmad added, "We established a joint operation room, something which we
had agreed in a meeting in the presence of President Abbas, Haniyeh, myself
and [Abbas aide] Tayeb Abdel Rahim, yet Hamas insisted on knowing the
personal details of the security services' members, in order to prepare for
their coup."

Al-Ahmad also claimed that "Israel has destroyed the security services in
order to pave the way for Hamas to finish and subdue them.

"We will provide documents to prove that countries, parties and Palestinian
factions intended to distort the image of the Palestinian people and show
that they can not govern themselves," Azzam Al-Ahmad says.
