Palestinian Min: Hamas Doesn't Want Peace Government In Israel
Monday February 9th, 2009 / 12h24
A senior Palestinian Authority official said during a visit to Warsaw Monday that recent Hamas rocket attacks on Israel ahead of its general election Tuesday showed Hamas wants to undermine peace efforts in the region.
"Hamas does not want a peace government in Israel to be elected in order to pursue political negotiations with the Palestinian Authority," said Riad Al-Malki, foreign minister with the Palestinian Authority.
"The landing of the two rockets yesterday (Sunday) is a way to interfere in the outcome of the Israeli elections," he said at a joint press conference with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
"That is why we are worried that such attacks might really interfere negatively during the outcome and might really push Israeli public opinion and the voters to vote for an anti-peace government," he said.
