A spokesman of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) told
Xinhua on Saturday that the current period was sensitive and decisive, calling
for forming a united national leadership. Sami Abu Zuhri made the remarks
before a meeting between Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei and various
factions in Gaza. "The movement will demand for forming a united national
leadership," Abu Zuhri said, adding that the Palestinian resistance against an
Israeli occupation will go on. He said that Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat's health condition was serious, therefore, it was necessary to demand for
forming a united national leadership. Asked about whether Hamas is asked to
stop firing Qassam rockets and mortar shells, Abu Zuhri said that the movement
would ask those people to offer help to protect the Palestinian people.
