WEST BANK, (PIC)-- Dr. Aziz Dwaik, the speaker of the Palestinian parliament said on Thursday that the Fatah authority in Ramallah is now flip-flopping now in the absence of the forces that used to support it in the region.

In an interview with the daily Palestine newspaper published on Thursday, the PLC speaker pointed out that it was difficult to talk with Fatah and to know what it wants due to many contradicting voices within it.

"How could we talk to them when one Fatah official comes out to say no to Hamas and no to all other factions, while the second says we are ready to talk to Hamas and take all its reservations into consideration, a third calling for elections, while a fourth says no to elections, we really don’t know what they want", Dwaik said in the interview.

He also added that it is about time for the PA in Ramallah to reconcile with the Palestinian people after it betrayed them and ignored their national constants and aspirations as evident to the documents leaked by Al-Jazeera satellite TV channel recently.

He also reiterated that Hamas was and still is keen on ending the political rift and to restore national unity, describing it as strategic option for Hamas.

"The PA in Ramallah has to choose between returning back to the Palestinian mainstream and the square of resistance or throw itself in the lap of the occupation", Dwaik highlighted, adding that returning to the Palestinian people mainstream would immediately achieve national reconciliation.

Moreover, Dwaik urged Fatah leaders to review their past and look how they were before, and how they and their movement have become.

"In Fatah you can find the Aqsa martyrs Brigades, you find the honorable people, and you also can find those who compromised the national constants of the Palestinian people and allied themselves with the Zionist enemy although I'am convinced that those who compromised aren’t from Fatah but those who ride on it" Dwaik underlined, adding that Fatah now working against the interests of the Palestinian people.

"Any nation that seeks freedom should sacrifice, and as we see now our region is experiencing a state of liberation and freedom and I believe that the Palestinian people is also part of the region and part of the experience", he underscored.
