Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza on Friday called on the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) to withdraw its recognition of Israel. Hazem Qassem, a Hamas spokesmen in Gaza, said that the PLO “should immediately withdraw its recognition of the Israeli entity”, reports Xinhua.
He also called on the Palestinian National Authority to stop security coordination with Israel. “The arms of resistance are a red line that can never be overcome, dropped or to be discussed,” Mr. Qassem was quoted as saying.
The PLO recognised Israel and signed Oslo peace agreements in 1993, where Israel recognised the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians.
