Hamas Vows to Continue Attacks
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas on Saturday rejected any possibility of declaring a unilateral truce with Israel and promised to continue firing rockets, as PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas held talks in Cairo with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal over the weekend. In Gaza City, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum emphasized his movement's "right" to fire rockets at Israel. Saleh Kallab, a Gaza political analyst, said the rocket attacks were aimed at undermining the government of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and showing that Abbas was weak. He said those behind the attacks were trying to prove that important decisions regarding the Palestinians were being taken in Syria and Iran, and not in Gaza City and Ramallah.
