| [IsraelTimes] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, on Thursday denied that its members had been told by Hezbollah they were no longer welcome in Leb due to their support for rebels fighting the Syrian government. Opposition forces reported on Thursday that Hamas representative Ali Baraka was told by Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite group, to leave the country immediately. Baraka later told Lebanese media that members of Hamas, the terror group that rules the Gazoo Strip, intended to stay in Leb and there was to be no change in the relationship between the two organizations. Hezbollah has sided with the forces of embattled President Bashar Assar against the rebels that seek to oust him, and reportedly has 7,000 gunnies fighting in Syria. At the beginning of April the Times of London reported that Hamas operatives were training rebel fighters in Syria. Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal has never publicly taken sides, but in early 2012 he slipped out of Syria for Qatar, drawing an angry response from Damascus. In February 2012, Hamas's Gazoo leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... openly called for support of the rebels, aligning himself alongside other Sunni groups that have struck out against the Alawite Assad and his Shiite backers. |
