Hamas leader warns Israel not to attack
By SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press Writer
Wed Jun 20, 4:46 PM ET
With his group firmly in power in Gaza, Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar
said Wednesday the radical Islamic movement doesn't want trouble with
Israel, but warned it won't be the Jewish state's "protector" and
threatened retaliation for attacks on militants.
Zahar also held out the prospect of dialogue with his vanquished Fatah
rivals, but stressed that key Fatah figures are "not welcome" in Gaza
and will face trial if they return. He also threatened attacks on
Fatah targets in the West Bank, where Fatah holds sway.
A fiery hard-liner with close ties to the Hamas military wing who is
quickly emerging as the most powerful man in Gaza, Zahar said the
group has no intention of relinquishing control, whether or not the
international community accepts it.
"Gaza is to some extent free. What will happen, we are going to help
our people here and in the West Bank," he said in an interview with
The Associated Press, speaking in English.
Zahar, 62, was the Palestinian foreign minister after Hamas was
elected in 2006, rejecting international calls for the movement to
recognize Israel and renounce violence. He also was a strong critic of
Hamas' unity government with Fatah, an administration that collapsed
in last week's fighting in Gaza.
The infighting has left the Palestinians with two governments, a Fatah-
led Cabinet in the West Bank that has been embraced by the
international community and the Hamas rulers of Gaza who have been
widely shunned.
Israel has sealed Gaza's borders, raising concerns of a humanitarian
crisis in the poor area. Israel has allowed in some aid, but hasn't
decided on a permanent arrangement because it considers Hamas, which
has killed dozens of Israelis in suicide bombings, a terrorist group.
Zahar said he was confident Israel will open the border to goods.
While he gave no indication that Hamas is ready to seek peace with
Israel, he said the group would like to keep things quiet so it can
rebuild Gaza and resolve its differences with Fatah.
"We are not enjoying ... (the) troubles with Fatah groups," Zahar
said. "We have to reconstruct our lives."
He said Hamas has the military muscle to stop the firing of rockets
from Gaza into southern Israel, but said the Israeli army must halt
its strikes at militants in both Palestinian territories. Six
Palestinians were killed in fighting with Israel on Wednesday.
"If they are going to attack the Palestinian people in the West Bank
or Gaza, the people are going to defend themselves," Zahar said.
"Nobody will be a protector of the Israeli border ... We are not a
protector of the Israelis. We are protecting our people."
"If they stop their aggression against the Palestinian people, the
Palestinian people will not attack anybody," he added.
There has been a decline in rocket fire at Israel since Hamas seized
power in Gaza, though nine rockets landed in Israel on Wednesday,
causing no serious injuries, the army said. The militant group Islamic
Jihad claimed responsibility.
After sunset, Hamas fired its own barrage of rockets in response to an
Israeli airstrike and tank foray in Gaza that killed four Palestinians
in Israel's deadliest military action since Hamas took over the
territory on June 14.
Zahar, a surgeon who studied medicine in Egypt, was among the founders
of Hamas in 1987 and remained close to the group's spiritual leader,
Sheik Ahmed Yassin, until he was killed by Israel in 2004. Zahar
survived an Israeli airstrike on his home in 2003 that killed his
oldest son and wounded his wife and a daughter.
While Hamas claims to have a collective leadership, members say
privately that Zahar is leading the decision making, with Hamas'
victory over Fatah strengthening his standing.
Israel and the West have pledged to bolster President Mahmoud Abbas by
delivering millions of dollars in aid to the government he set up in
the West Bank.
Zahar said he isn't concerned, expressing confidence that Abbas will
feel compelled to direct some of the aid to Gaza since he claims the
West Bank administration represents all Palestinians.
"If he uses this money only for the West Bank, he will be unable to
speak a single word as the representative of the Palestinian people in
Gaza," Zahar said.
Despite a fiery speech Wednesday by Abbas declaring there would be no
dialogue with "those murderous terrorists" of Hamas, Zahar called for
talks with Fatah.
But he said some Fatah leaders, including former Gaza strongman
Mohammed Dahlan, would not be allowed to return.
"Dahlan and his group are not welcome. If they are here, they are
going to have to face trials," Zahar said.
