Hamas leader Ismail Haneya has on Saturday drawn up "basis" for reconciliation after the Islamic movement seized control of Gaza Strip and kicked out senior leaders from rival Fatah.

Haneya's vision was mainly based on restructuring the security services which often were loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, respecting signed Hamas-Fatah deals and staging a general national reconciliation.

Haneya, deposed from his post as prime minister following the Gaza fighting, made the remarks during a commencement at the Hamas-run Islamic University of Gaza.

He also asserted that the Palestinians should "protect their national principles and rights, respecting the legitimacy and dealing with the democratic choice as the solo option for rotatingthe authority."

"Any talks should go according to the principles rather than(U.S. President George W.) Bush's vision."

Meanwhile, Haneya has sent a message to Fatah people who remained in Gaza, calling on them to "take advantage of the new status."

"There was a group that wanted to kidnapped Fatah," said Haneya, referring to what Hamas used to call "coup-seekers" from the President's faction. Hamas also repeats that their last month war was aimed at that group.

Reacting to reports about Hamas abuses against Fatah partisans, Haneya stressed that there was no political detentions against Fatah partisans. Earlier, a spokesman for Hamas' Executive Forces said the arrests were to fight crimes.

The Hamas leader also called on Fatah new leader in the Gaza Strip, Zakariya al-Agha, for a meeting "to resolve any problem."

President Abbas bans any dialogue with Hamas unless the latter removes the consequences of its "coup" in the territory.
