SOT, Ismail Haniyeh, Chairman of Hamas Political Bureau (Arabic): "The deal of the century and Bahrain conference are not the destiny of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people, supported by the nation and the people who made all the conspiracies, deals and plans fail will be able to make this deal fail. And we are able to put the ones who sign this deal in the sand of this holy land. We confirm that the deal of the century and the Bahrain conference are born dead because they carry the roots and factors of its failure and because they are held in a time which is against these oppressive decisions."

SCRIPT
Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh denounced the 'Peace to Prosperity' conference which kicked off in Bahrain's Manama on Tuesday, during a counter-conference in Gaza City on the same day.
"America has failed in all of its policies in the recruitment of the region. They will not succeed and they will not be able to make this deal pass," Haniyeh said. "I am inviting our brothers in the Fatah movement and the leaders of Fatah to gather and share this hall together now and to forget our pains because the battle is too hard," Haniyeh added.
The 'Peace to Prosperity' conference, held by the Kingdom of Bahrain in partnership with the US, aims to achieve Palestinian prosperity and will focus on attracting more economic investment to the West Bank and Gaza with the help of governments as well as civil, social and business leaders.
The Palestinian National Authority already announced that they will boycott the peace workshop describing the investment plan as "abstract promises."
