Syria and Hamas to Hold Alternative Conference
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - A "Palestinian National Conference for Resisting Schemes Aimed at Liquidating the Palestinian Cause," due to take place in Syria and Gaza next month at the invitation of Hamas and its political allies, has been called in response to the U.S.-sponsored peace conference due to be held in Annapolis. PA officials expressed concern on Wednesday that the conference may attempt to create a new PLO. "Their declared goal is to foil the Annapolis conference," said a PA official. "What's worrying is that the conference will be held under the auspices of the Syrian regime."
