| Hamas vows to gain control over militants shooting to Egypt |
| 2009-12-20 |
| [Ma'an] Minister of the Interior with Gaza's de facto government Fathi Hammad promised efforts were being made to control the actions of gunmen shooting an Egyptian workers constructing a steel wall along the Egypt-Gaza border. Hammad's promise came Saturday following the second report from Egyptian security of Gaza gunmen firing shots at workers. Construction of the 25-meter-deep and 1 ten km long steel wall is said to be an attempt to stifle the proliferation of smuggling tunnels running beneath the Rafah border. The promise was made by Hammad over the telephone with Egyptian government officials, as he expressed concern over the recent events at the border. Earlier in the day Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum announced to Egypt that they had less to be scared of from Gaza as from the Israeli occupation. He condemned what he called the Egyptian support of Israel's blockade of Gaza, which spurred the growth of the dangerous tunnel industry. During his talk with Egypt, Hammad also inquired about the construction of the wall. He further requested the government do more to help lift the siege on Gaza, and echoed Barhoum's words, saying Gaza will never be a threat to Egyptian security. "Palestinians cannot bare the pressure of a tightened blockade," he said. |

| #4 Eventually the world will grow tired of the paleostains and wipe Gaza from the face of the earth. It's one thing to "hate the Juice", but it's another to thumb your nose at everyone. The stench is hard to bear now, and it will only get worse as the noose tightens. |

| #1 "Palestinians cannot bare the pressure of a tightened blockade," he said. . ..Then they should stop all terrorism and violence against the State of Israel and the borders will soon open to normal trade and commerce. It's that simple. You fate is in your own hands, Gazans |
