Hamas: Israel not serious about Cairo summit

Talks in Cairo between Israel and various Palestinian factions are in danger of breaking down as Hamas accuses Israel of not taking them seriously.

"There will be a meeting in order to decide if we are going to continue the talks or not," Hamas's deputy chairman Moussa Abu Marzouk told the Guardian, "because there is no seriousness from the Israeli side about the talks."

He said Hamas had not decided whether to continue attacks on Israel, in light of the failure of the talks, but emphasised that "all the options are available to the Palestinian people in order to them to gain their rights." He said: "If we don't have justice and rights, we will keep resisting our enemies until we get them … If they don't give us our rights today, we will continue the battle."
