Hamas rejects extension of negotiations

Hamas said on Tuesday that it rejects the extension of negotiations with Zionist regime, and called on the Palestinian Authority to “stop this travesty.” The extension of talks would mark the “genuine ending of the Palestinian cause”, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.

US so-called peace efforts are teetering on the brink of collapse after Zionist regime refused to free a fourth and final group of 26 veteran Palestinian captives which would have completed an agreement that brought the sides back to the negotiating table in July 2013.

Furious Palestinian officials have warned that unless Zionist regime changes its stance on the prisoner releases, it could signal the end of the negotiations, which are in any case due to draw to a close on April 29.
