HAMAS GOVT WOULD USE PA POLICE TO FIGHT ISRAEL

SO WHAT'S NEW?  DOESN'T THE PA POLICE FIGHT ISRAEL NOW?

Hamas Government Would Recruit PA Police to Fight Israel - Khaled Abu Toameh (Jerusalem Post)
Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar told a Hamas rally in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip that his movement would not abandon the armed struggle against Israel or negotiate with any Israeli after, when and if, it wins the elections.  He disclosed that a Hamas-controlled cabinet would incorporate Palestinian Authority policemen into armed groups that are fighting against Israel.

"Israel is an enemy, not a partner or a friend or a neighbor. We won't negotiate with them and this is our final position. Palestine, all of Palestine, belongs to the Muslims and the Arabs and no one has the right to give up one inch of its land." Fathi Hamad, a Hamas candidate from the Gaza Strip, said his movement would continue to develop its armed wing, Izzaddin al-Kassam, by recruiting more members and manufacturing more rockets and bombs.
