GAZA, (PIC)--

The Hamas Movement has appreciated the statement of John Dugard, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, in which he accused the UN and the international Quartet Committee of bias in favor of Israel and of ignoring reports on Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.

Sami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip, said in a press release on Sunday that the statement reveal the UN and its Secretary General's bias in favor of Israel including giving a blind a eye to its crimes against the Palestinian people.

The statement also exposes the Quartet Committee's role in favor of Israeli occupation, which proves that it is no mediator but rather was found to serve occupation and its goals, he said.

Abu Zuhri called on the PA leadership to stop having high hopes on this Committee, which practices such a hostile role against the Palestinian people.
