The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas asserted that its political program will include mechanisms to apply policies of the incoming Hamas-led government. It added that what have been reportedly published so far are mere principles of its finial draft.

"Reports about Hamas political program are mere principles and outlines of the final formula of the program that have been introduced to various parliamentary blocs. It is very important to stress that these views do not represent the final program of the government but present its outlook of the political issues only," said Sheikh Farahat Asad, Hamas leader in the West Bank.

In harmony with the participant parliamentary blocs in the government, the finial program will be drafted, Asad affirmed. Therefore, all blocs are briefed with these views in an introductory procedure for phrasing the final formula.

He denied that the principles of Hamas program are general, indicating that all fundamentals, such as resistance, negotiations, truce, are listed in items followed by detained mechanisms of implementation.

Asad mentioned that the item that covers the government attitude to prior pacts signed between the Palestinian Authority and Israel depends on the respect of the international law and in conformity to the Palestinian interests. Hamas will not be a party in agreements have been proven to be a failure and yielded no profit to Palestinians.

Asad said Hamas will adhere to prior pacts only if they serve the Palestinian interests.

He added that it is not reasonable that Hamas abides by agreements to which Israel do not adhere on assumption that this embarrasses Israel internationally. This long-applied approach has been proved unsuccessful and has wasted a lot of Palestinian rights.

In the same connection, Asad stated that existing consultations with various parliamentary blocs focus only on political issues, adding that Hamas has a comprehensive vision for all aspects of Palestinian life ready to be implemented. Once consultations are concluded, the comprehensive plan will be anounced.

Recently, Hamas introduced the outlines of its incoming government program.
