Excerpts;
“At its Sunday morning cabinet meeting did Israel’s interim government finally lay out a strategy for contending with the fact that Hamas has taken over the Palestinian Authority? The Israeli and international media reports of the meeting could easily lead a person to think so.”
“Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. The interim government’s decisions Sunday show that the government has no policy for contending with Hamas. The absence of a policy is a result of the government’s lack of a basic understanding of – or its unwillingness to understand – the threat the Hamas takeover of the PA poses to Israel.”
