Hamas may agree to stop boomings inside Israel...
Fatah and Hamas have reached an understanding that could mean a halt to suicide bombing attacks against Israelis inside the Green Line, Haaretz reported Friday. Under Egyptian auspices, the four-day talks that ended in Cairo Thursday aimed at bringing the two movements to an agreement that would reject violence between them and reformulate their stand toward Israel. As part of the understanding reached between the sides, Hamas' leadership, both in Palestine and abroad, promised to consider seriously whether it would continue attacks against Israel inside the Green Line. I'm sure they'll consider it just as seriously as they'd consider all becoming Rosicrucians, at least... On Thursday night, Israel's Channel 1 TV reported that Egypt's intelligence chief Omar Suleiman informed President Katsav of an agreement reached by Hamas and Fatah to stop attacks inside the Green Line for three months, until after the January 28 elections in Israel. If there is such an agreement it will be a purely tactical move, to lend some support to the doves within Israel. If Netanyahu is willing to toss Yasser, maybe he'd also be willing to make Sheikh Yassin and his politburo into martyrs. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-11-15 |
