| Surviving Hamas Leaders in Gaza Blame Hamas Leaders in Demascus |
| 2009-02-01 |
| Palestinian sources told the Egyptian daily newspaper Al Ahram that the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip sought to extend the six-month cease-fire that preceded Israel's military offensive last month and are furious with Hamas' Damascus-based political bureau chief Khaled Meshal's decision to end the truce, Israel Radio reported on Saturday. According to the report, two senior Hamas officials in Gaza - Mahmoud al-Zahar and Ahmed al-Jabari - warned Meshal that abandoning the cease-fire was "rash" given that the organization had not adequately prepared for an Israeli ground incursion into the Gaza Strip. |

| #3 This could be fixed. Kill the surviving "leaders," then kill the "leaders" in Damascus. Then everybody would be happy. |
