Hamas heeft met de aanslag op vier Israeli's op de Westelijke Jordaanoever de vredesbesprekingen willen verstoren, en zelfs het aftreden van president Abbas willen forceren. Door de lichamen te stelen had een sterkere Israelische reactie uitgelokt kunnen worden, die Abbas sterker onder druk had gezet. Tot zover Hamas' vredelievende bedoelingen zoals die geregeld door mensen als Meulenbelt en Duisenberg worden bezongen.

Egyptian newspaper reports terrorists said in interrogation that the attack was supposed to look like a kidnapping, cause peace talks' failure.
The members of Hamas's military wing who carried out the terror attack in the West Bank near Kiryat Arba last month in which four Israeli's were killed planned to steal the victims' bodies to make Israel believe the incident was a kidnapping, Egyptian weekly al-Ahram reported on Monday.
According to the report, the terror suspects arrested by Palestinian security forces following the attacks told their interrogators that their mission was to stage a kidnapping, causing Israel to impose a mass closure of the West Bank and thus derail peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The terrorist hoped that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas would be forced to resign as a result of the peace talks failing.
The Palestinian sources cited in the report claimed that the attacks were carried out on the orders of Hamas leadership in Gaza and Damascus.
The plan to steal the bodies was prevented by a passing car which forced the terrorists to flee the scene.
The four victims, described by a settler spokesman as a couple and two hitchhikers – were driving on Route 60 near the entrance to Kiryat Arba when their vehicle came under fire. The victims were named as Yitzhak Ames, 47, and his wife Tali Ames, 45, Kochava Even-Haim, 37, and Avishai Schindler, 24, all from Beit Hagai. The Ames couple had six children, including a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler.
