Fatah-Hamas Accords Essential for Peace Process

Former British prime minister and envoy for the Middle East Quartet, Tony Blair, said on Wednesday that the peace process between Fatah and Hamas is essential for the peace in the region.

Blair emphasized in the interview that it was important to maintain stability in the region and prevent the situation from spiraling downward into open conflict.

Quartet's envoy does not confirm Zionist regime’s president Shimon Peres’ revelation, says ‘I am unaware of secret 2011 Peres-Abbas deal’.

Blair said it was crucial to avoid another “intifada” or armed uprising.
