Hamas Not Expected to Halt Attacks
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Hamas is expected to continue perpetrating attacks against Israel even if it does well at the polls on Wednesday in the Palestinian Legislative Council elections, senior Israeli defense officials predicted on Tuesday. Officials said they believed Hamas would keep up its anti-Israel activity even from a position within the PA cabinet. "Hamas is built on an ideology that calls for Israel's destruction and its leaders speak like anti-Semites. The assumption is that they will not give up the Izz a-Din el-Kassam military wing so quickly," one senior defense official said. The IDF would not be restricted in taking military action against Hamas if warranted, even if the organization became part of the PA government, the official said.
