In a press release, Taher al-Nunu, media adviser for Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, said that Pompeo’s visit to the region aims to open the door for normalization “under various and new names.”
He cited the prospective US-sponsored normalization conference planned to be held in the region with many Arab states expected to attend along with zionist regime’s delegations.
Al-Nunu called on all Arab countries not to deal with these “dangerous” attempts to normalize ties with the zionist occupation regime, noting that these measures represent “silent implementation of the deal of the century, which liquidates the Palestinian cause and integrates the israeli occupation into the region.”
He stressed that normalization whitewashes the black image of the zionist occupation regime and encourages it to continue its crimes against the Palestinian people and go further in breaching their rights.
The normalization, he added, gives the zionist occupation regime an opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of the Arab nations and fuel the internal differences among them in a way that serves its colonial and expansionist policies and interests. (ILKHA)
