Palestinian faction leader lashes out at Hamas

Palestine Liberation Front chief Wasel Abu Youssef asserted on Wednesday that Israel works to Judaize Al-Quds (occupied East Jerusalem) and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In a radio interview, Abu Yussef held Israel responsible for the current stalemate in the peace process.

"This is due to its approach of settlement and occupation," he said.

Israel wants to separate the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian territories to "hit the Palestinian cause," he said.

The Palestinian enclave is run by Hamas which was accused by Abu Youssef of enabling Israel in this regard.

He also blamed the Islamist group of hindering the formation of a Palestinian unity government.
