GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Palestinian Islamist and leftist factions on Sunday said returning to negotiations with Israel was a mistake.
The Islamic Jihad movement said returning to talks is like "cloning the failure" of previous negotiations, which proved to be mistake, a statement said.
Jihad spokesman Shihab Dawod told Ma'an that the Palestinian Authority has made mistakes in the past that the Palestinian people are still suffering from today.
"There is national Palestinian consensus to refuse negotiations, but the PA responds to American pressures and blackmail," he added.
"Returning back to negotiations under these circumstances is like political suicide because the international and the regional situation does not provide any true support to the Palestinian people or to the Palestinian cause. The Arab countries are busy with internal issues."
Jamil Mizher, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, told Ma'an that Palestinian factions must move forward towards political reconciliation and implement a national strategy to face future challenges. more
