[An Nahar] Paleostinian movement Hamas

said in a statement that the head of its political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza 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...
, has received a phone call from caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.

"The two sides discussed the latest political and military developments, especially the negotiations to stop the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and the ongoing invasion of Rafah," the statement said.

Haniyeh praised "the Lebanese positions in support of the Paleostinian people and their steadfastness and struggle," stressing that "Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
is on the line of resistance in support of the Paleostinian people."

Lebanon has offered "deaders, especially in this battle," Haniyeh added.

Haniyeh also noted that "stopping the aggression against Gaza will contribute to stopping the escalation on the Lebanese front and other supporting fronts."

For his part, Mikati praised the position of the Hamas movement in accepting the mediators’ proposal to stop the assault on Gaza, noting Lebanon’s "firm position on Paleostine" and highlighting "the historic relationship between the two peoples."

Mikati also lauded "the steadfastness and firmness of the Paleostinian people and the emphasis on the right of return."

He also noted the importance of following up on efforts related to UNRWA’s operations in Lebanon.
