巴勒斯坦官員：哈馬斯將遵守巴以停戰協議

The Palestinian militant group Hamas says it will honor an unofficial truce with Israel after signing a reconciliation deal with Fatah. Officials say Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal will attend a ceremony Wednesday marking the signing of the deal, which will end the divide that has left Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza with rival governments.

A group of smaller Palestinian factions signed the unity agreement in Cairo Tuesday. The agreement between the Palestinian factions calls for the formation of an interim government followed by presidential and legislative elections within a year.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply criticized the deal. He called Tuesday for Mr. Abbas to cancel the agreement and "choose the path to peace with Israel."Last week he said there was "no possibility for peace with both."
Israel and the United States consider Hamas a terrorist group.

巴勒斯坦激進組織哈馬斯表示，該組織與法塔赫簽署和解協議後將遵守與以色列的非正式停火。官員說：巴勒斯坦民族權力機構主席阿巴斯和哈馬斯領導人馬沙爾星期三將出席簽署協議的慶祝儀式，結束雙方之間的分裂。這一分裂致使巴勒斯坦人在約旦河西岸和加沙有兩個相互對立的政府。

星期二，一些比較小的巴勒斯坦派系簽署了團結協議。巴勒斯坦派別之間的這個協議要求組成一個臨時政府，隨後在一年內舉行總統和議會選舉。

以色列總理內坦尼亞胡激烈批評這個協議。星期二他呼籲阿巴斯取消協議，選擇同以色列和平的道路。上星期，內坦尼亞胡說，“沒有跟以色列和哈馬斯都和平的可能性。”以色列和美國認爲哈馬斯是恐怖組織。
