| No action towards Egypt army's destruction of tunnels: Hamas |
| 2013-09-14 |
| [Al Ahram] Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, Prime Minister Ismail Haniya said that his group will only use weapons against its "Israeli enemy," amid intensive efforts by the Egyptian army to destroy tunnels linking Egypt's eastern border with the Gazoo Strip. During Friday's prayers sermon at the Belal Ben Rabeh Mosque, south of Gazoo Strip, Haniya said that Paleostinian authorities are closely monitoring the destruction of the tunnels, and shall take steps to ease pressure of the besieged Gazoo strip and its residents. "Our weapons will be directed against no one except for the Israeli enemy located on the Paleostinian territory... We won't distract our resistance despite injustice befallen us," he said, easing tension created by earlier sermons. "The government and the resistance [of Hamas] do not interfere in any of the Arab countries' affairs... they consider these countries our allies and supporters of the Paleostinian cause." The Egyptian army said it has destroyed dozens of tunnels in Sinai recently, which are considered an economic lifeline for the Gazoo enclave because it is partially blockaded by Israel. Gazoo preachers, in fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... sermons, had previously accused Egypt's army chief, General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of waging war against Islam. Egyptian army officials have said Hamas is interfering in Egyptian affairs and suggested that Paleostinians were helping Islamist gunnies in Sinai, which borders Gazoo and Israel. Hamas, an ideological offshoot of Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund, denies such allegations. The group's religious affairs minister Ismail Rudwan said recently preachers were instructed not to "speak about Egypt's internal affairs" and only "focus on Paleostinian national issues." |
