A senior Fatah member said on Thursday that although Israel should be
condemned for its incursion into the Gaza Strip and the arrest of senior Hamas
officials, it was Hamas who brought these actions upon the Palestinian people.
He blamed Hamas' uncompromising, extremist approach - especially that of Hamas
leader in Damascus Khaled Mashaal - for turning the whole world against the
Palestinians.
The official, an associate of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas,
told Israel Radio said that Mashaal interfered with any attempt at moderation
or mitigation of the economic embargo on the Palestinians.
Other officials throughout the Arab world reacted with concern to the
escalation of the Israeli-Palestiniain crisis, criticizing Israel for causing
suffering to Gaza residents and citing Israeli warplanes' buzzing of the
Syrian president's home as especially troubling.
