Qadoura Fares. The agenda of the conference is rich. But I think the most important for us to reassess our policy agenda with regard to the political crisis in the peace process. In front of us, we have an Israeli government extremist. There are no negotiations. On the other hand, it is important to examine the organizational structures, decision-making procedures within the movement and, of course, elect new leadership..

Qadoura Fares. Farouk Qaddumi made a mistake. He used documents provided by the media. But it does not represent the majority and not even a small minority within the movement. He did this for personal reasons, not to strengthen or develop the movement.

Qadoura Fares. Concerning the preparation, there was a lot of obstacles. On the one hand, Hamas has prevented our executives in the Gaza Strip to attend the conference. Secondly, I believe that the preparatory committee of Congress made a number of errors. Those who participated did not mind – and therefore not taken into account, as if they did not recall – the fact that this congress is the first for twenty years. which means that for many leaders of the movement is the first time they have the opportunity to participate in such conferences. This is also their right. But their very name was not mentioned. This amounts to prevent them from taking their full part in the congress and in the debates. Result, many executives are angry.
