`Barhum said the talks were over an agreement "to end the siege, stop the aggression and reopen the crossings."`
Uh, Fawzi, that wouldn`t include a halt to Gazan arms smuggling, a suspension of Hamas` Jihad to destroy Israel for 18 mo., and a reasonable prisoner exchange, would it?
"Zahar -- believed to be the overall Hamas leader in the Palestinian territories -- ..."
He is? What happened to ex-PM Haniyeh?
"...told the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television station that he would meet with Egyptian negotiators and members of Hamas`s Syrian-based politburo later in the day."
Uh, Mahmoud, you had better make a phone call to your Shiite Persian bosses in Tehran too before you sign anything. I realize that you`re in a big hurry to finalize a cease-fire before the Israeli elections, but Israel`s position won`t change very much regardless of who the next PM is.
P.S. How is it possible for anyone to be uglier than Arafat (MHRIH)? |
