Fatah official: Hamas has bigger stock of lies than Netanyahu
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Peace talks, Hamas 

A senior official in the Palestinian party Fatah lashed out at the rival Hamas movement on Monday, blaming the Islamist group for the recent failure of reconciliation negotiations, AFP reported.

"Hamas has a bigger stock of lies than Netanyahu," Mohammed Dahlan, a senior Fatah official, was quoted as telling reporters in Ramallah, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The unity talks stalled on Sunday, when a delegation of senior Hamas officials canceled a scheduled trip to Cairo to discuss an Egyptian proposal for reconciliation between the two groups.

It was not immediately clear if Hamas canceled on its own initiative or in response to a request by Egypt.

"They got everything they asked for in the Egyptian document, and we in Fatah knew that our position would draw fire from the sons of Fatah... But despite all this we agreed to it," Dahlan added, according to the French news agency.

"Hamas has thwarted all efforts. They have frustrated us and Egypt."
