Unless something miraculous happens, Israel is headed for a “forced” false peace based on unilateral withdrawal, completion of the security barrier to fence in the Palestinian terrorists, and rigid enforcement at its entrances, with the barrier becoming the permanent border. It will take a miracle for Hamas to change its stance toward Israel to the point of compromising on the points that Israel and the United States have asked for a negotiated peace. I assure you, if Hamas were to do so, it would only be to lull Israel into a false sense of security.
The usurps extracted from the article by Khaled Abu Toameh, present a picture of what the new Israeli government will face on the other side of the “Green Line” border that Hamas now governs.
The other two articles were extracted from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs Daily Report.

To the sounds of Allahu Akbar [God is greatest], the new Hamas cabinet on Tuesday won the confidence of the Palestinian Legislative Council after a two-day session that was held here and in Gaza City through video conference.
Immediately after the vote, several Hamas legislators beg an shouting the famous Islamic battle cry of Allahu Akbar, saying this was
an historical moment for the Palestinians.
Holding high a copy of the Koran, legislator Hamed Bitawi shouted: “The Koran is our constitution, Mohammed is our prophet, jihad [holy war] is our path and dying for the sake of Allah is our biggest wish.” His remark drew a thunderous applause from all his Hamas colleagues.
Following the session, PLC Speaker Abdel Aziz Dweik announced that
the new cabinet would be sworn in on after Abbas returns from the Arab summit meeting in Sudan on Wednesday.
