国际英语新闻：Hamas slams Palestinian document

GAZA, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Hamas on Saturday slammed a document prepared by a senior Palestinian negotiator which outlines a grim situation due to the suspension of peace talks with Israel.

"The document reflects the Palestinian negotiator's frustration, " said Ismail Radwan, a Hamas spokesman.

The suspension of peace talks is not in favor of the Palestinian people, said the document prepared by chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.

As the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) had desperately negotiated for years to have an independent Palestinian statehood against Israel, the interruption of the talks would serve Israel's idea that one state with two nationalities is better than the two- state solution, Erekat said.

Radwan stressed that the PNA and President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement "are not entitled to make any fateful decisions related to the Palestinian people."

He also criticized Erekat for considering Hamas an obstacle to peace. "This means the negotiator (Erekat) sees the Israeli occupation as a partner," Radwan said.
