[Reuters] Nidal al-Mughrabi - The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas on Monday said it was still committed to Israel's destruction despite a power-sharing deal with the Fatah faction. "We will not betray promises we made to God to continue the path of Jihad and resistance until the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine," Hamas said in a statement. On Sunday, al-Qaeda's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, accused Hamas of serving U.S. interests by agreeing to a Saudi-brokered unity government deal with Fatah. Hamas said it continued to be a "movement of resistance, seekers of martyrdom" and that its "principles will never be changed."
