Hamas: We'll Use Unity Accord to Move Terrorism to West Bank


(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - Senior Hamas leaders Khaled Mashaal and Mahmoud Zahar have both made it clear that their movement is planning to continue "resistance" actions against Israel even after the formation of a Palestinian unity government. Mashaal vowed that Hamas will never abandon the armed struggle against Israel, seeing the "reconciliation" as an opportunity for Hamas and all Palestinians to "solidify the resistance" against Israel. Zahar disclosed that Hamas is planning to take advantage of the unity deal to move its terror attacks against Israel to the West Bank. Moreover, he declared that after its men enter the West Bank, Hamas will target Palestinians who "collaborate" with Israel. He also said Hamas would pursue the fight against Israel until the "liberation of all Palestine....We believe in what was mentioned in the Quran: that Palestine, all of Palestine, will be liberated."
