| [Ma'an] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, is ready to implement the 2011 reconciliation deal in its entirety, front man Sami Abu Zuhri ...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest... said Sunday. Fatah's selectivity in implementing different clauses has slowed down the reconciliation process, he said. Senior leader of the Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... movement Khalid al-Batsh said Sunday that Fayyad's resignation presents an opportunity to begin formatting a unity government headed by president Abbas, adding that Egypt is keen to implement Paleostinian reconciliation. |
