Hamas Says Abbas Must End Its Peace Talks with Israel
[AP/Fox News] The Palestinian Authority must end its peace talks and security coordination with Israel if it ever expects to reconcile with Hamas, Osama Hamdan, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, said Sunday. Hamdan also vowed that Hamas will continue to bring in arms to Gaza. To aid in reconstructing Gaza, Arab officials are looking to heal the rift between the Palestinians and bring them once more under a unity government. "It's time for us to talk about a reconciliation based on a resistance program to liberate the territory and regain rights," Hamdan said. On Friday, French President Sarkozy ordered a frigate deployed immediately to the waters off Gaza in an effort to fight arms smuggling. On Sunday, the Damascus-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command warned that France's participation in a maritime blockade of Gaza's coast would "make it an enemy of our people...and make its interests, wherever they are, subject to direct targeting by our Muslim nation."
