No talks with Israel after legislative election: Hamas (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-01-08 08:51
A senior Hamas official said on Saturday that the movement is not intending
to have any kind of talks with Israel if Hamas wins the Jan. 25 legislative
election.
Mahmoud al-Zahar told reporters that Hamas will never hold any kind of talks
with Israel.
Asked about an EU statement that if Hamas is part of any future cabinet, all
international fund will stop, he said, "We will get our own fund from Arab and
Islamic countries."
A recent poll showed that the ruling Fatah movement could get 39.3 percent of
votes and Hamas could get 31.9 percent.
More than 82 percent of Palestinian people in the Gaza
Strip and the West Bank will go to polling stations to elect 132
legislators.
