Hamas: We Will Not Recognize Israel or Stop Violence
[Palestinian Media Watch] Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook - Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri reiterated Monday that the new Hamas-led coalition government will neither recognize Israel nor stop terror. Hamas interprets the Mecca agreement to mean that the Arab and Islamic worlds have accepted them as they are. "Hamas received national legitimization through the gathering of masses around it and around the option of resistance [i.e., terror] and received legislative legitimization through its victory in the Legislative Council elections." "It now received Arab and Islamic legitimization and will receive international legitimization."
