Hamas politburo member: Gaza truce merely a 'fighters respite'

The Gaza truce is local and temporally and merely a "fighters respite" to allow the Palestinian people some breathing space, Hamas politburo member Ayzat Arishak said Friday, stressing that the cease-fire was in no way an abandonment of the armed struggle.

The Damascus-based Arishak said that Israel's agreement to the cease-fire was an accomplishment for the Palestinian factions, but said a truce was in the interest of both sides and that Hamas would be committed to it.

Yeah, Ayzat. I'll bet you need plenty of rest. That Damascus nightlife probably really wears a guy down...
