German Minister: Hamas Should Not be Allowed to Participate in Elections

(Ynet News) Ali Waked - German Interior Minister Otto Schily said during his visit to Israel that terrorist organizations such as Hamas should not be allowed to participate in Palestinian elections until they commit to ending attacks against Israel. "My personal view is that in an election process only decent groups can take part," he said. "If it is true that Hamas takes part in terrorist attacks and actions, it is so far impossible to see that they can take part in democratic elections."
