Khalil Al-Hayya says the Palestinian Authority’s efforts to persuade the United Nations to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state are a “mirage.” His remarks, communicated by his office Sunday, reflect the tensions between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority’s dominant Fatah movement as the rival factions try to form a unity government.
The head of the Palestinian Authority, President Mahmoud Abbas, is pursuing statehood at the UN because negotiations with Israel have been stalled for 2 1/2 years.
