[ 18/01/2009 - 05:25 PM ] http://www.palestine-info.co.uk/en/DataFiles/Cache/TempImgs/2009/1/images_Ne ws_2009_01_18_blind-for-ever-0_300_0.jpg GAZA, (PIC)-- Minister of justice Mohamed Al-Ghoul stated that any actions, decisions or obligations made by former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas, whose term of office had expired on 9/1/2009, do not oblige the Palestinian people. In a press release received by the PIC, Ghoul explained that the Palestinian basic law stipulates in article no. 36 that the presidential term of office is only four years and accordingly Abbas is no longer entitled to represent the Palestinian people or sign agreements on their behalf even by declaring himself a president of Palestine. The minister of justice underlined that the government of national unity headed by Ismail Haneyya is the only legitimate and legal government that represents the Palestinian people according to the basic law and any other side has no right to usurp this jurisdiction from the legitimate government. He asked the international community especially the Islamic and Arab countries and all official and unofficial bodies to deal only with the constitutional Palestinian government headed by premier Haneyya. Ghoul also stressed the need to interrogate and prosecute Abbas in a Palestinian court for committing hundreds of "terrible crimes" and conspiring against the Palestinian people and resistance in full coordination with the Israeli occupation, and for waiving the Palestinian national rights and constants. The minister highlighted that the Palestinian rights are unchanging and inalienable, and does not end by prescription, calling on the Palestinian people to be united around the resistance and respect the Palestinian law in order to serve the higher national interests. _____ Palestinian communities in Europe slam Maleki for criticizing the resistance [ 19/01/2009 - 10:55 AM ] http://www.palestine-info.co.uk/en/DataFiles/Cache/TempImgs/2009/1/images_Ne ws_2009_01_19_maliki_300_0.jpg EUROPE, (PIC)-- The association of Palestinian communities and institutions in Europe strongly denounced foreign minister in Ramallah government Riyadh Al-Maleki's statements in which he held the Palestinian resistance responsible for the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip during an interview with an Israeli journalist. In a statement received by the PIC, Radi Al-Shuaibi, the secretary-general of the association, said that such statements justify and give a cover for Israel's brutal and barbaric aggression on Gaza, noting that the Israeli aggression received international condemnation. In another context, a large number of Yemeni school students and participants who attended a ceremony in support of Gaza organized by the Kanaan society (headed by a nephew of the Yemeni president) chanted slogans against ex-PA chief Mahmoud Abbas and some of his security officials. This came when charge d'affaires of the Palestinian embassy in Sana'a Fa'yz Abdeljawad gave his speech, where dozens of the attendees started shouting slogans in favor of the Palestinian resistance and Hamas, and condemning the PA complicity with Israel during the aggression on Gaza. In Damascus, a large mass of Palestinian and Syrian citizens participated on Sunday evening in a rally called for by the Hamas Movement to celebrate the victory achieved by the Palestinian resistance over the Israeli aggression. On the sidelines of this massive march, Abu Mua'men, the public relations officer of Hamas popular action, told the PIC that the Palestinian masses went out to salute the Palestinian resistance in Gaza because they wagered on the resistance which proved its eligibility to achieve victories against the Israeli occupation. For his part, Dr. Tareq Hamoud, the secretary-general of the Palestinian return assembly-Wajeb, stated to the PIC that the Palestinian resistance achieved a military victory in the battlefield against Israel and a political victory against the "moderate" Arab regimes.
