Hamas Leader Warns of West Bank Peril for Fatah
[New York Times] Steven Erlanger - Former Palestinian foreign minister Mahmoud Zahar warned Wednesday that Fatah's effort to repress Hamas in the West Bank could lead to Fatah's downfall there as well. In an interview, Zahar said Hamas would not sit idle if Fatah continued to attack Hamas institutions and politicians in the West Bank. "If they continue to dismantle the local elections in the West Bank and punish Hamas there, the United States and Israel will face another surprise there," Zahar said.
