GAZA, (PIC)--

The Hamas Movement hailed the decision taken by Mauritania's president Sidi Weld Al-Shaikh which calls for reevaluating his country's relations with the Israeli occupation government in response to the Mauritanian public opinion, considering it a "courageous step in the right direction."

Hamas expressed hope that this decision would urge all Arab and Islamic countries which normalized their relations with the Israeli occupation to reconsider these relations.

Hamas in light of this daring step called for forming an Arab and Islamic axis supporting the justice of the Palestinian people's rights and Arab and Islamic causes against the Zio-American alliance whose expansionism poses a lurking threat not only to the Palestinian people but also to the entire region.

Bethlehem – Ma'an –

Hamas applauded on Monday a reported decision by the president of Mauritania to reconsider his country's diplomatic relations with the Israeli occupation government.

Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum called the move "courageous," and "a step in the right direction." Barhoum said he hopes Mauritania, and all Arab and Islamic nations, will follow through and sever relations with Israel completely.

Barhoum called for the creation of an Arab-Islamic coalition with the power to support the Palestinian cause against a US axis that supports Israel and its crimes against the Palestinian people.

Mauritania, Egypt and Jordan, are the only members of the Arab league which have normalized relations with Israel. Mauritania recognized Israel in 1999.
