Hamas/Israel

      Senior group leader, Abu Marzouk said the Israeli indiscriminate attacks and killing of civilians were "against any international law" and stressed Hamas has the right to attack everywhere inside Israel in response. "This is their right to do so," he said. He also renewed accusations against Hamas' rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, saying he was collaborating with Israel against Hamas and had provided "cover" to the Israeli aggression on Gaza. He slammed Abbas for his Sunday comments blaming Hamas for the attacks on Gaza, saying Hamas had the right to "resist." Abu Marzouk also called on Arab countries who have peace treaties with Israel - Egypt and Jordan - to sever those ties. He added he hoped Arab leaders meeting for an emergency summit meeting later this week to deal with the Gaza situation would send a very clear message to Israel to stop its aggression.(23,51)
