GAZA, Palestine, May 25 (NNN-WAFA) – The Islamic Hamas Movement, on Friday, called on Palestinians, to boycott a U.S.-sponsored economic conference that will be held in Bahrain on June 25.
“Our people are unified to boycott the conference in Manama and act against the Deal of the Century and the projects of liquidising the Palestinian cause,” Khalil al-Hayya, deputy chief of Hamas, told reporters.
Al-Hayya made his remarks, in the eastern Gaza Strip, as he joined the weekly anti-Israel Palestinian rally, better known as the Great March of Return, that aims to break the nearly 12 years of Israeli siege on Gaza.
Dozens of Palestinians joined the rally that took place close to the border with Israel, where they waved Palestinian flags and fired burning balloons into southern Israel.
Field paramedics said, at least four people, including a paramedic, were injured during the clashes between the demonstrators and Israeli soldiers stationed on the border.
“No one can impose cheap solutions on the Palestinian people,” the Highest Commission of the Great March of Return said, in a press statement, referring to the economic conference in the Bahraini capital of Manama.
“The only solution is the end of the (Israeli) occupation,” it added.– NNN-WAFA
