Israeli Foreign Minister at UN: "Hamas Seeks to Destroy Everything the International Community Seeks to Build"

(Foreign Ministry) Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday: "Two days ago in Gaza, the terrorist organization Hamas held a rally of ten thousand armed men dedicated to a Holy War against Israel. Like al-Qaeda, and the other organizations in the global network of terror, Hamas seeks to destroy everything that the international community, and the moderates in our region, seek to build - tolerance, democracy, peace. Hamas is responsible for the deliberate murder of hundreds of Israeli civilians - among them scores of women and children. Israel cannot - and will not - grant legitimacy to such an organization. We will not cooperate with its desire to participate in the forthcoming Palestinian elections. And we call on the international community to make clear its own opposition to the inclusion of such terrorists in the democratic process."
