Gaza, (PIC)-- Khaled Al-Batesh, a leader of the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza, has asserted in a TV statement that there is no room for talk about calm in Gaza since the Israeli aggression on the enclave did not stop.
He said that his movement would continue to retaliate strongly to Israeli attacks, adding that Israel wants the Palestinian resistance factions to accept calm according to its own standards, which is rejected by those factions.
Batesh said that Egyptian efforts to restore calm would not succeed as long as Israel continued in its attacks.
The Jihad leader asked the Arab countries to arm the Palestinian resistance to enable it to defend the unarmed Palestinians, who are butchered at the hands of Israeli army’s American-made warplanes.
Dr. Ismail Radwan, a Hamas leader in Gaza, echoed the statement of Batesh in another TV interview on Saturday night.
He said that it was not reasonable to talk about calm while the Israeli occupation forces were continuing in their military escalation against Gaza since Friday.
Radwan denounced Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah leader and PA chief, for insisting on maintaining contacts with Israel despite its repeated military escalations.
The Hamas leader asked Palestinian resistance factions to coordinate their stands in dealing with the Israeli aggression, and called on the Arab and Islamic countries to restrain Israel.
