GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Palestinians must reject the idea of settling in any land other than Palestine, Gaza prime minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said Friday on the eve of Land Day. "We reject resettlement in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, or the Sinai," Haniyeh told crowds during a speech in Gaza on Friday. "There is no alternative to the land of Palestine." Palestinians face ongoing political, economic, military and media campaigns to give up their land, the premier said, adding that US President Barack Obama's recent visit confirmed the country's bias toward Israel.
Haniyeh stressed that Hamas is eager to implement a reconciliation deal with secular rivals Fatah. Land Day is held every year to mark the deaths of six Palestinian protesters at the hands of Israeli police and troops during mass demonstrations in 1976 against plans to confiscate Arab land in Galilee
