GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas intends to form a supreme body composed of Palestinian, Arab and Islamic forces to confront the US deal of the century, a step that the Fatah movement deems as “a major mistake” given that the PLO is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.

During a seminar April 23 in Gaza City — titled “Mechanisms to deal with the deal of the century” — and attended by Al-Monitor, Salah al-Bardawil, member of Hamas’ political bureau, revealed that his movement is seeking to form a supreme body composed of Palestinian, Arab and Islamic forces to counter the US deal of the century.
