Hamas Leader Breaks Off Truce
Hamas Leader Breaks Off Truce Talks
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – A senior Hamas official said Friday the
militant group was breaking off cease-fire talks with the Palestinians,
a surprise reversal that threw into doubt a key component of a Mideast
peace plan.
The Middle East peace process crumbling again? The article at least suggests there’s still hope:
However, a Palestinian Cabinet minister said talks with Hamas
leaders abroad continued, suggesting there was still a chance to reach
an agreement to end Hamas violence — including suicide attacks against
Israelis. Others said Hamas, known for its pragmatism, would not risk a
confrontation with security forces and would quickly resume talks.
Either way, it’s not looking good.
