Fatah lawmaker calls for reconsidering peace talks with Israel
A parliamentarian from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement on Saturday called for stopping the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in response to Israeli offensive against Gaza Strip.
"We expect a firm political response from the Palestinian negotiator to the horrible massacres against the Palestinian people," said Ashraf Jum'a, a Gaza-based lawmaker.
While Fatah adopts the peace choice as a strategic goal, the negotiations should not keep on without an end or a clear vision, Jum'a said.
Jum'a said the Israeli military operations into Gaza Strip were "war crimes reflecting the state terrorism that the Israeli occupation forces implement."
