HAMAS TO EUROPE: WE'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY, NOT YOUR SUGGESTIONS

European aid cannot buy Hamas: Meshaal.
MOSCOW (AFP) - European aid to Palestine could not persuade the Palestinian group Hamas to change its policy positions, a leader of the radical Islamic movement due in Moscow for talks this week said in an interview. “The Palestinian people cannot sell their legitimate claims,” Khaled Meshaal said in an interview with Russia’s Vremya Novostei daily, responding to a question on the European Union’s decision to unblock financial aid for the Palestinians. “There can be no trading on that, with money on one side and on the other side our homeland and our rights... Humanitarian aid should not be given with conditions. It’s inadmissible,” he said.
