Kaddoumi: No Difference between PLO and Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) - Khaled Abu Toameh The Palestinians will not ask Hamas to stop suicide attacks against Israel before the Palestinians make political gains, said the head of the PLO's political department, Farouk Kaddoumi, in an interview with the Nazareth-based weekly Kul al-Arab. Asked if there was any difference between his positions and those of Hamas, which calls for the elimination of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state in all of Palestine, Kaddoumi, the only senior PLO leader to remain in Tunis following the signing of the Oslo Accords, said: "We were never different from Hamas. Strategically, there is no difference between us."
