Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, said on Wednesday evening that what was published in the media about a truce proposed by Egypt to the Palestinian factions during the recent visit to Cairo, in exchange for projects and facilities, is unfounded news, and it is just rumors behind which hostile parties stand.

And Al-Arouri said in a televised interview on Al-Aqsa TV, which is affiliated with the "Hamas" movement, that the meetings in Egypt came within the framework of continuing consultations on the Palestinian issue and the region.

Al-Arouri added, "The talk about economic projects in Gaza in exchange for the armistice, we heard about it in the media, and perhaps hostile parties stand behind it. Hamas will not get out of the resistance equation in exchange for any economic or political projects, and Gaza will remain in the heart of active resistance."

He pointed out that the visit of the government delegation from Gaza to Cairo aims to discuss detailed government issues, and has nothing to do with rumors of a long truce.

He stated that the meeting with the leadership of the Islamic Jihad movement in Cairo was very important in terms of unifying the vision of the resistance and adjusting its rhythm to serve the interests of our people, stressing that the meeting was successful and achieved its goals, while we are in one trench. like he said.

Regarding the situation in the West Bank, the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau said that the allegations of plans for Hamas to control the West Bank are empty propaganda aimed at raising the pace of internal conflict in the service of the occupation, pointing out that no one can control the Palestinian people except through popular legitimacy. like he said.

He believed that the results of the West Bank university elections are important because of the importance of the active and aware youth category in the Palestinian national equation, which is a clear indication of the general attitudes of our people. like he said.

Al-Arouri called on the "Fatah" movement for a unified national strategy that includes all paths of political, popular and armed resistance.

Al-Arouri pointed out that "Hamas" talked with the "Fatah" movement about a national strategy that includes supporting the political effort with the world in return for supporting and covering the resistance in all its forms.

And he indicated that the "Hamas" movement agrees with the "Fatah" movement in diagnosing the seriousness of the Palestinian situation, and this requires leadership decisions commensurate with the seriousness of the stage, indicating that experience has proven that political action alone did not achieve any results, and an honest review requires building a new national strategy that constitutes the comprehensive resistance.

Al-Arouri emphasized that Hamas agrees with all factions on the comprehensive resistance strategy, including political action and resistance, pointing out that Abu Mazen places his veto on the path of assembling Palestinian institutions in building a unified national strategy.

He said, "Hamas accepts the word of our people in the ballot box, and accepts political partnership with others, and we do not impose our opinion on our people. The movement has great struggle and clear popular legitimacy."

He considered that the international circumstance and the composition of the Israeli government constituted a great opportunity to unify the Palestinian action in accordance with the unified national strategy.

He reaffirmed the readiness of the "Hamas" movement and its readiness to hold student elections in all universities of the Gaza Strip on the basis of the full proportional representation law, explaining that his movement sponsors an atmosphere of complete freedom in Gaza for the work of the Palestinian factions, including the "Fatah" movement. like he said.

Al-Arouri said: "The Fatah movement is practicing its political and organizational work with full freedom in the Gaza Strip."

He emphasized that "Hamas" contributed to building the military wings of the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, referring to Hamas providing the Palestinian factions with weapons, sites and everything necessary to strengthen the resistance in the Strip.

Al-Arouri said, "Fatah youth in universities are resistance fighters, and we share with them the national concern in the West Bank."

He described "political arrest as patriotic shameful".

On the issue of prisoners, the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau said that if the administrative prisoners go on a hunger strike, their lives are in danger, and our people will unite in a battle behind them, stressing that the battle to defend the administrative prisoners will be a great national renaissance for our people.

Al-Arouri stressed that the case of the prisoner Walid Daqqa is a model that the occupation does not have an iota of morality and humanity. like he said.
