| [An Nahar] The Gazoo Strip's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, prime minister 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... denied on Saturday reports that the Islamic myrmidon group was involved in fighting in the neighboring Egyptian Sinai or in Syria. "We did not interfere in the affairs of any country and are not involved in the events or differences or internal conflicts of any country," Haniyeh said. "This (is) our position regarding what has happened and is happening in Syria, Egypt, Leb and all Arab and Islamic countries," he said. "We are not involved in any incident," he added. "Neither in the Sinai or elsewhere. We only act in the Paleostinian arena and our guns are turned only toward the Zionist enemy." He called on the media to stop their "baseless" accusations against Hamas, which he said "is proud to have taken from its first day a principled and moral position for the people and their suffering and their right to freedom , democracy and dignity." Haniyeh made the remarks during a speech marking two years since captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was exchanged for 1,027 Paleostinian prisoners, feted in Gazoo as a victory for the "resistance." Relations between Cairo and Hamas have deteriorated since July 3, when the Egyptian army ousted president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... , a member of the Moslem Brüderbund in which Hamas has its roots. Since then, the Egyptian army has destroyed hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the border with the Gazoo Strip, which supplied the Paleostinian territory with food and construction materials. |
