Senior Hamas Figure Criticizes Gaza Takeover

[Reuters] Nidal al-Mughrabi - Ghazi Hamad, a former spokesman of the Hamas-led government, on Saturday publicly criticized the group's seizure of Gaza. "I have regarded it as a grave strategic mistake," Hamad said in a letter addressed to Hamas leaders. "Instead of expanding its relations with the Arab and international community...(Hamas) has become isolated and besieged in the narrow strip."
