| Gaza's Haniya Heads to Egypt Talks |
| 2013-03-31 |
| [An Nahar] Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, prime minister Ismail Haniya headed to Cairo on Saturday to discuss his Islamist movement's complaints about Israeli compliance with an Egyptian-brokered truce. Hamas front man Taher al-Nunu said Haniya would be discussing "Israeli violations of the truce," which ended eight days of deadly violence in and around the Gazoo Strip last November. Last week, Hamas complained to Egypt that Israel was not keeping its end of the bargain. Nunu said that the Gazoo premier would be discussing "the problem of (Paleostinian) prisoners (held by Israel) and Hamas-Egypt relations." Ties between Hamas and Cairo have been tense after Egyptian forces closed down dozens of smuggling tunnels on the Gazoo border. Haniya all also seek to "clear the air" after Egyptian allegations of Hamas involvement in a deadly attack on Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula last year, Hamas sources said. Reconciliation efforts between Hamas and the Fatah faction of Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... are also expected to be on the agenda. |
