GAZA -Certain Palestinian groups, including the Democratic Front for Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and the Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), have ditched efforts to mend present gaps and settle discords in a bid to forge eventual consensus.
The DFLP`s Gaza Head, Salah Zaydan, told Alalam on Friday that to get rid of the ongoing crisis in Palestine, it is necessary for Hamas to turn down the military choice.
Zaydan said Fatah too should reconsider the policy of ruling out dialogue with Hamas so that the ground would be prepared for successful comprehensive dialogue on settlement of the factional differences.
Meanwhile, the PFLP Central Committee member, Jamil Mazhar, told Alalam that at a time when Palestine is the scene of enemy`s daily incursions and factional backbiting, one should not resort to military option as a way to solve internal disputes.
Mazhar said that during inter-factional dialogues, agreements have been reached on certain points and ideas. "We hope for settlement of rows and de-escalation of tension," he added.
Both DFLP and PFLP insist they do their utmost efforts to solve differences and forge national consensus by getting all the Palestinian groups and organizations involved in the process.
