Haneya slams four-way summit in Egypt

Ousted Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haneya slammed on Sunday the four-way summit due to be held on Monday in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

"We warn against the summit ...the Israelis and the Americans will not give us any thing and our country will return by resistance and endurance," said Haneya.

Haneya's awaited speech was made before tens of pro-Hamas clerks at a conference in Gaza City, part of Gaza Strip which is on the grip of Hamas after it defeated pro-Fatah security troops.

He also accused the Israel of boosting the divisions among the Palestinians by supporting the emergency government formed by President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank.

"The occupation tightened the siege on Gaza while showered Ramallah with money," Haneya said, referring to the Israeli release of the withheld tax revenues to the emergency government in the West Bank.

He insisted that the return of tax revenues was "a normal right " of the Palestinians, stressing that the money should reach all the Palestinians without distinctions.

By reviewing the infighting between his Hamas movement and Abbas' Fatah movement in the Gaza Strip, Haneya defended his group 's takeover of Gaza and reiterated rejection to the emergency government in the West Bank.
