A Message to Hamas
(Ynet News) Sever Plocker - Many Hamas leaders lean toward canceling the agreements the previous Palestinian government made with Israel. From the outset they viewed these agreements as traitorous against Islam. From this perspective, the operation in Jericho has broad diplomatic implications. It made a clear statement that the world stands by Israel, or at least won't stand in Israel's way when it uses military force to respond to violations of agreements. Reports in the international media about the operation were restrained and balanced. Western governments reacted with understanding, even with sympathy.
