Opposition Palestinian factions: Delay of declaration was disappointing

Some of the Palestinian factions said the decision of the Palestinian central council concerning delaying the declaration of the country was disappointing and some factions had reservation against the decision while the Palestinian government welcomed it.

The Islamic resistance movement Hamas said that "the authority is loosing credibility by delaying the declaration of the country."

The movement also expected failure in the talks that will be soon resumed with Israel, assuring in a statement that "Israel does not understand but the weapon language and the only choice to liberate Jerusalem is the resistance."

Nuked Azzam, the spokesman of the Islamic Jihad movement said "delaying the declaration of the country will not do Israel good and will keep delaying our causes while the enemy resumes his aggressive policies on the land."
