Hamas Inside Syria Conspires With Saudis For Back-Door Extortion Of Israel
George Clooney’s brother Khaled Meshaal, leader of Hamas, runs the terrorist organization from the safety of Damscus.
From DEBKAFile:
The Palestinian fundamentalist group ruling the Gaza Strip has plans for building on its successes in seizing control of the Egyptian border and forcing Israel to deliver a million tons of fuel and 300,000 tons of cooking gas under unrelenting missile attack.
Hamas agitators are inciting Egyptian opposition parties, led by their parent Muslim Brotherhood, to stage a mass anti-government protest this coming weekend.
Furthermore, DEBKAfile’s Gulf sources report, Hamas leaders backed by Saudi Arabia, are pushing for an Arab summit, to be called an “Emergency Conference for Gaza” to take place in the Sinai town of Sharm al-Sheikh.
Their plan is for Saudi King Abdullah and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to jointly force Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas to stand alongside Hamas’ Damascus-based Khaled Meshaal and Ismail Haniya and patch up their quarrel for the sake of Palestinian unity.
This summit would empower Hamas to dictate a limited de facto ceasefire, to force the IDF to agree to holding its fire in return for the suspension of the Palestinian missile offensive. The arms smuggling tunnels would be excluded from the truce deal and continue to build up the Hamas war arsenal with arms, fighting strength and cash unmolested.
Senior Israeli military officers object to such ceasefire terms because Hamas and its allies would be free to resume their missile assaults at will and gear up undisturbed for escalated aggression.
