Hamas belooft beschietingen van Egyptische grenswerkers te stoppen

 
Ik denk niet dat Egypte het beschieten van haar personeel lang zal aanzien. Egypte heeft zo haar eigen ervaringen met de moslimbroederschap, en neemt het in haar maatregelen tegen haar onwelgevallige organisaties niet erg nauw met de mensenrechten. Dat kan ook makkelijk, want de ogen van de internationale gemeenschap zijn immers niet op haar gericht. Krijgt het lot van Egyptische dissidenten al matig aandacht, dat van leden van de Moslim Broederschap met hun ideeën over een zuiver islamitische staat kan, in tegenstelling tot Hamas dat tegen het verderfelijke Israel strijdt, maar weinig sympathie opwekken bij Westerse beleidsmakers en media.

Hamas vows to gain control over militants shooting to Egypt

Gaza - Ma'an - Minister of the Interior with Gaza's de facto government Fathi Hammad promised efforts were being made to control the actions of gunmen shooting an Egyptian workers constructing a steel wall along the Egypt-Gaza border.

Hammad's promise came Saturday following the second report from Egyptian security of Gaza gunmen firing shots at workers. Construction of the 25-meter-deep and 1 ten km long steel wall is said to be an attempt to stifle the proliferation of smuggling tunnels running beneath the Rafah border.

The promise was made by Hammad over the telephone with Egyptian government officials, as he expressed concern over the recent events at the border.

Earlier in the day Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum announced to Egypt that they had less to be scared of from Gaza as from the Israeli occupation. He condemned what he called the Egyptian support of Israel's blockade of Gaza, which spurred the growth of the dangerous tunnel industry.

During his talk with Egypt, Hammad also inquired about the construction of the wall. He further requested the government do more to help lift the siege on Gaza, and echoed Barhoum's words, saying Gaza will never be a threat to Egyptian security.

"Palestinians cannot bare the pressure of a tightened blockade," he said.
