Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement on Wednesday said the differences between Hamas and Fatah factions became "very dangerous."
"What is happening in our Palestinian scene in Gaza Strip is very depressing," said Khader Habib, a Gaza-based Islamic Jihad leader.
Habib also criticized Hamas' takeover of Gaza Strip in June after fierce fighting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and the pro-Abbas security services.
"Hamas takeover of Gaza was a disaster that hit the Palestinian people and their cause... our people's achievements are fuming and retreating and the cause turned from political to a humanitarian issue," Habib continued.
Habib's remarks came after seven Palestinians were killed at the eve of the new year in separate clashes between Hamas forces and supporters of Fatah who were banned from marking the 43rd anniversary of the movement in the Hamas-run Gaza.
Hamas also rejected a call by Abbas to end its control in Gaza and accept early elections in exchange for dialogue.
