| Pals claim to expect Hamas truce with Israel. Yeah, right. |
| 2003-06-23 |
| (AP) - Palestinian officials said Monday they expect a positive response from Hamas on a truce with Israel soon, perhaps even by the end of the day(Uh-huh, and Voldemort's a Muggle), and Egyptian diplomatic sources said an announcement would be made in Cairo. Leaders of the Islamic militant group shut off their phones or declined comment. A truce is crucial for implementing a U.S.-backed peace plan, the "road map" to Palestinian statehood by 2005. In the first stage, the Palestinians must dismantle militant groups, while Israel must gradually withdraw to positions held before the outbreak of fighting 33 months ago. When did THEY get a deed for the Brooklyn Bridge |
