Zahhar Says Hamas Not Counting On West
2012-05-10
(Ma'an) -- Senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, official Mahmoud Zahhar said Tuesday that the movement does not pin much hope on contacts with Western countries, Jordanian media reported.

Zahhar told Jordanian newspaper al-Dustour: "We don't count on ongoing contacts, we just talk to who wants to listen."

Party officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named last week that Hamas recently held secret talks with five European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
member states. Zahhar played down the significance of the meetings to al-Dustour, saying "we don't pin serious hopes on western countries."

He hit back at reports Hamas will stop military resistance activities. Groups making such allegations "must read recent Paleostinian history, especially 2006 and 2008 when there were wars on Hamas," he told the newspaper.
