Hamas, Hizballah Leaders Pledge Defiance in Beirut
(Daily Star-Beirut) Adnan El-Ghoul - Leaders of Hamas and Hizballah pledged Thursday in Beirut to keep their weapons and continue armed resistance against Israel, threatening to "cut off the hand and the head" of any who try to take the resistance's weapons, and to "rip out their soul." Hizballah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah spoke at the Fourth General Arab Conference to Back the Lebanese and Palestinian Resistance, held in Beirut, which was also attended by Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal. Meshaal said: "The Islamist movement, which heads the new Palestinian government, will continue to lead its armed struggle against Israel while in power." He argued that Arab leaders must change tactics after failing to achieve anything through the peaceful approach.
