[ 14/12/2008 - 09:05 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas on Sunday said that the huge masses that took part in its celebration marking the 21st inception of the Movement indicated failure of economic and political siege to weaken Hamas.

Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said in a press release that the massive participation in the celebration pointed to failure of the negotiations course and success of resistance project.

He said that the hundreds of thousands who attended the rally also indicated that Gaza was steadfast despite the siege and that the Palestinian people were still backing Hamas.

The huge rally further poses as the de facto response to the "rabid" campaign against Hamas, the spokesman elaborated.

For his part, Ra'fat Nassif, the West Bank Hamas leader, said that his Movement decided not to organize a similar rally in the West Bank due to the restrictions and the harassment against the Movement there at the hands of the PA in Ramallah.

He told the Gaza rally in a telephone address that the Movement was adamant on its track despite the PA persecution.
