The spokesman for Hamas' parliamentary bloc Salah Bardaweel asserted that the next government formation will be declared before the end of the current week. Bardaweel added on Sunday that "we sent messages to all the blocs and parliamentary lists we met with, and attached Hamas' political platform and common grounds agenda," pointing out that these blocs and lists will have two days to discuss these messages before the comprehensive meeting of all the factions on Monday, which will formulate the final stances towards participating in the coming government or not.
According to IPC, the Hamas MP noted that both Abu Ali Mustafa List, representing the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Independent Palestine List headed by Mustafa Barghouti, are the closest to joining the government, adding that there are some agreement with Al Badil List, which represents the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), the Palestinian People's Party (PPP) and Fida Party, to join as well.
With regards to the participation of Fatah movement in the government, Bardaweel spoke on some differences between his movement and Fateh.
Meanwhile, Hamas disclosed the main points of its political program for the next PA government, which basically stressed that Israel is an occupation state, and the Palestinian struggle should continue till all rights of the Palestinian people are achieved among other crucial points.
Close sources to Hamas revealed to the PIC that the program affirmed that the Arab and Islamic worlds are the strategic depth of the Palestinian people in all fields and that the conditional truce is one of the work mechanisms of the new government.
"The program emphasized the right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, which they were forcibly driven out of in 1948 at the hands of armed Zionist gangs. However, the return of any Palestinian refugee to any liberated inch of the Palestinian lands doesn’t cancel such a right", the program elaborated.
The Hamas' political program stressed that all deals previously signed between the PLO, PA and Israel will be subjected to the national interests of the Palestinian people, and underlined that the Hamas-led government will avoid any accord, which proves to be harmful to the Palestinian people and deals with those proven to be in their favor accordingly.
