Hamas Not Laying Down Arms
(AP/Jerusalem Post) Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal told Al-Jazeera TV Wednesday that Hamas's decision in March to agree to a ceasefire was part of "a campaign of tactics and maneuvers in order to put the ball back in the Israeli and American court." The decision to agree to a truce also stemmed from Hamas's desire to give the Palestinian people a rest from the violence of the uprising, he added. "We are committed to resistance and will not consent to any dismantling of resistance groups and laying down arms before the occupation leaves our land," he said.
