Hamas recognises existence of Israel, sez Egypt
2006-01-23
Ah, but we don't see Hamas saying anything about Hamas recognizing Israel as anything but a bloodstain-to-be on the Gaza beachline, do we?
And we certainly don't hear them saying it in Arabic ...
Egypt thinks the Palestinian group Hamas recognises the existence of Israel and will go along with negotiations with the Jewish state, Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in an interview published on Saturday. Aboul Gheit, whose government has had close contacts with Hamas and other Palestinian militants over the past year, also said that joining the political process would lead to fundamental changes in the thinking of Hamas.

Hamas, which advocates replacing Israel with an Islamic state throughout historical Palestine, is taking part in Palestinian parliamentary elections for the first time on Jan 25. It poses a strong challenge to the ruling Fatah movement.

Nobody cares what Egypt thinks. Hamas has to handle matters on its own.
