(Jerusalem Post) - In the wake of the failure of the Cairo cease-fire talks, Sharon spokesman Raanan Gissin said, "Hamas today is a danger more to the Palestinian Authority than it is to us....The minute you have forces...challenge the government you can't talk to them...you have to disarm them....The only way to deal with terrorists is to put them behind bars and dismantle their organizations and take away their weapons." Fatah officials said that Hamas' external leadership was the main objector to a full cease-fire deal, Army Radio reported. Senior Hamas official Mohammed Nazzal said: "Every centimeter of the land of Palestine from 1948 onwards is occupied land and we will continue our resistance against Israeli targets in every place."
