How Long Will New Hamas Leader Last?
(Toronto Globe and Mail) - Dr. Mahmoud Zahar, 58, gave up his medical practice a long time ago to devote himself full-time to the pursuit of death. Last week, the Shura consultative council of Hamas met in secret and appointed Zahar their third leader in less than a month. Zahar said Hamas would continue to struggle for the elimination of the State of Israel. "We are not willing to accept Israel as a legitimate state in this area. This is not our political attitude. This is a standing contradiction with Islam," he said.
