Azzam Al-Ahmed, Fatah movement's chief in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), or parliament, said Tuesday that his party won't give the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)-led cabinet a vote of confidence in PLC's potential session.

Al-Ahmed told reporters in the West Bank that Fatah won't give Hamas-led cabinet a vote of confidence during the (PLC) session, referring to the complete difference between platforms of Hamas and Fatah movements.

Al-Ahmed said the Hamas movement doesn't believe in the partnership at the political work, but wants to impose the policy of dictation.

He held that when Hamas cabinet's platform didn't include a commitment to the fact that Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is the sole and legitimate representative, it proves that the gap between Hamas and Fatah's attitude is wide.
