<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; A senior Hamas official  denied his Movement received a proposal from de facto president Mahmoud  Abbas calling for referring to the ballot box instead of signing Egypt&#8217;s  reconciliation paper.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;What was stated by a member of the Fatah  Movement&#8217;s central committee in this regard, we have heard only from  media outlets and we do not know the credibility of this news, for we  cannot trust what Fatah leaders tell the media,&#8221; spokesman for Hamas&#8217;s  parliamentary bloc Salah Al-Bardawil told the Palestinian information  center (PIC) on Saturday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Bardawil noted that the reconciliation  paper did not belong to the Egyptian regime, but it was an  inter-Palestinian issue, but Fatah at the end refused to deal with the  remaining points in this paper and preferred to wager on the  developments of its negotiations with the Israeli occupation.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He underscored that Hamas won the last  legislative elections, but Abbas did not respect the results and  utilized all forces of evil in the world to isolate and eliminate it,  adding that the elections should be held in the framework of a national  consensus if Fatah is really honest about its claims.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abbas Zaki, a member of Fatah central  committee, had claimed that Mahmoud Abbas made an overture calling on  Hamas to refer to the ballot box and elections in order to end the  internal division.</p>
