Palestinian political factions condemn Abbas' statement

Palestinian political factions based in Syria condemned on Tuesday the statement issued by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President, over the siege of Gaza, the Syrian news web Champress reported on Wednesday.

The Palestinian parties said in a comment issued on Tuesday, Abbas' statements point to "Ramallah authority" collusion and coordination with Israeli government to dissolve the international isolation on Tel-Aviv.

Abbas in his statement to the Israeli's Haaretz daily, linked lifting the siege on Gaza with a role of the Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's government and accomplishment of the Palestinian interior reconciliation.

Damascus-based Palestinian leadership considered Abbas' stance an "attempt to abort the movements and action in the wake of the Israeli aggression against Gaza-bound aid flotilla," the report said.

The international community represented by the UN Security Council has condemned the Israeli attack against Freedom Flotilla calling Tel-Aviv to carry out investigation into the incident.
