Hamas wonÂ’t join Palestinian team to Jordan |
2006-05-07 |
![]() The Palestinian government said it was not directly involved in the issue, according to Abbas. The government recently said arrested members of Hamas received orders from one of the group’s leaders in Syria to carry out attacks in Jordan. Following the discovery of the weapons cache, Jordan scrapped a planned visit to Amman in April by Mahmoud Zahar, foreign minister in the Hamas-run Palestinian government. Judeh yesterday said the government will receive the delegation formed by Abbas. The team was expected to arrive in Amman on Wednesday, he said. “The government is surprised by the refusal of the [Hamas] government to participate in the Palestinian delegation, to which we are going to present the details of a series of abuses by members of Hamas in recent years,” Judeh told Agence France-Presse. He said this would include details on the confessions of people arrested as well as on the arms and missiles that Hamas elements have stockpiled in Jordan. “What was seized in Jordan represents a great danger and a threat to the stability of the Kingdom,” he said. |

#1 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as saying in a letter that the Hamas-led government “showed no interest in participating in this delegation,” ...likewise, no interest in being detained for questioning by King Ab. Even a hound knows not to return to his own vomit. |
