| Haniyeh condemns killing of 3 Hamas commanders | |
| 2014-08-22 | |
Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... said in a statement on Thursday that the battle between Paleostinian resistance fighters and the Israel regime will be long and that the enemy will be defeated. Referring to the death of Mohammed Abu Shammala, Raed al-Attar and Mohammed Barhoum, commanders of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Haniyeh emphasized that Israel's liquidation of the three Hamas leaders only makes the resistance movement stronger. The commanders were killed in an Israeli Hamas front man, Sami Abu Zuhri ...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest... , described the killing of the three commanders as a "big Israeli crime," warning that "Israel will pay the price." In the Thursday statement, Haniyeh also said that Paleostinians will continue their fight against the Tel Aviv regime and will not accept anything less than the lifting of the Israeli siege on Gazoo. Gazoo has been blockaded by the Israeli regime since June 2007, a situation that has caused a decline in the standards of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty. | |
