Barak: If Hamas Takes Over West Bank, Captured PA Weapons Could Be Turned Against Israel
[Jerusalem Post] Hilary Leila Krieger and Yaakov Katz - Defense Minister Ehud Barak told U.S. special envoy Gen. James Jones at a recent meeting that approving the transfer to the PA of weapons and armored vehicles could backfire because Hamas could come to power in the West Bank and be better equipped to turn on Israel. "We need to keep in mind the possibility that after all we have done, Hamas will take over the West Bank, not only by force but even in the upcoming general elections," Barak told Jones.
