Doha - The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas yesterday accused Israel of making moves to occupy Gaza.
Addressing a news conference, Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Meshaal said Israeli aggression had increased after the Annapolis Middle East Peace Conference and it was now eyeing Gaza for occupation and control. Israel has been exploiting the conference to the hilt to its benefit. If Israel chooses to attack Gaza, we won't have any surprises waiting for them, but we will resist them. We will fight, he said.
Meshal is in Qatar as part of a tour of Arab countries to explain to its leaders and people what he described were the dangerous outcome of the Annapolis Conference. The conference does not address key issues like the right of the Palestinian refuges to return home or the future of Jerusalem yet it has become a kind of road map for peace between the Palestinians and Israel, he added. The conference talks only of issues of how to combat terrorists.
