Hamas: Jordanian envoy’s statement incites civil strife
2003-06-01
That's as opposed to what they have now, which is, ummm... civil strife.
Gaza - The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has lashed out at statements by Jordanian ambassador to Washington Karim Kawar at a political seminar in the USA recently. Kawar said, “The new (Palestinian Authority) premier should be given the support he wished to combat terrorism, he needs to launch war against Hamas and Islamic Jihad”.
Sounds reasonable to me...
Hamas, describing his statement as serious, said that it was a clear call for igniting civil strife in the Palestinian street that would only benefit the Zionist enemy. The Movement said that the statement further justified the Zionist savage crimes against the Palestinian people and even “encourages (Zionist premier Ariel) Sharon on committing more terrorism against our Mujahid people who are endeavoring to attain legitimate rights”. Hamas asked the Jordanian government to denounce such a serious statement and urged Amman to put an end to similar acts that harmed the Palestinian people and their legitimate resistance.

#1  havent seen any coverage of original story, about statements by Kawar. I would think that a call by an Arab ambassador for PA to go to war on Hamas would be newsworthy, wouldnt you?
