Egyptian Journalist: There Will Be No Foreign Aid for Reconstruction in Gaza and Lebanon unless Hamas and Hizbullah Surrender Their Weapons


(MEMRI-TV) Egyptian journalist Emad Adeeb told Sky News Arabia (UAE) on Feb. 26: "Hamas with its weapons is unacceptable both internationally and by the Arabs. Let me be honest with you, Hamas has become a burden upon the Palestinian cause....If Hamas insists on keeping its weapons, there will be no reconstruction in Gaza. If Hizbullah insists on keeping its weapons, there will be no reconstruction in Lebanon, and the displaced people will not return [to their homes]." If Hamas "prefers its weapons, it will have to face the 2.1 million people [of Gaza] who are looking for food, drink, and sewage services....You cannot make the decisions and expect me to pay the bill....You accepted the Iranian invitation, so let the Iranians pay the bill."
