Hamas Leader Says His Group Won't Renew Truce After Palestinian Elections: Attacks Must Accompany Political Process
(AP/Washington Post) Albert Aji - The leader of Hamas said Wednesday that his Palestinian militant group will not renew a truce with Israel when it expires at the end of the year. Khaled Mashaal, whose group has carried out dozens of deadly suicide attacks on Israelis, also restated Hamas' rejection of U.S. calls for Hamas to disarm and join the political process. "The resistance must go hand in hand with political work," he said. "It is not accepted to pressure the resistance to choose between resistance and politics."
