Palestine's Fatah movement said Israel uses Qatari funds as a means of blackmailing Hamas to push for more concessions, in light of the latter's need to pay its employees' salaries and get out of the financial crisis.
Head of Fatah's media office Munir al-Jaghoub said that these funds promote the Palestinian division and pave the way for the separation of the Gaza Strip from the West Bank.
Jaghoub called on Hamas to recognize the seriousness of the current stage the Palestinian cause is witnessing, calling on the faction not to help pass the so-called "Deal of the Century" and demolish the Palestinian cause.
Hamas should agree to hold elections amid conspiracies running against the Palestinian issue.
