<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Senior Hamas official  Salah Al-Bardawil stated that the strength of the Palestinian resistance  and the international solidarity with the Gaza Strip are the only  reasons that prevent Israel from waging a new war on the Strip and not  the weak stands of de facto president Mahmoud Abbas.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;We know that the Zionist enemy does not  think of a new war on Gaza and it cannot do so, especially after it saw  the size of the international sympathy with the Palestinian people and  the legal actions taken against its crimes as well as when it saw the  legendary steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their resistance,&#8221;  Bardawil told Quds Press on Wednesday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He also criticized Israeli media claims  that Abbas is trying to escape from the peace talks with Israel, saying  that Abbas is always desperate to talk with Israelis and is still  begging them to stop their settlement activities after he lost  everything he can negotiate for.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Hamas official also defended the  sincere attempts of Saudi Arabia to bridge the gap between his Movement  and Fatah faction and expressed his rejection of allegations that accuse  Saudi Arabia of supporting extremism and portray Israel as the only  democracy in the region.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Bardawil made his remarks in response to Israeli media allegations in this regard.</p>
