Hamas Tells Israel to Ready for Anything

By Prensa Latina,

Gaza : The Islamic Resistance Movement lashed at threats from Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak which he called absurd, adding that Hamas “is ready for every option”.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri lashed at Barak who compared Monday Hamas’s leaders “to the hosts of a TV show (Reality Show)” and hinted that military action in Gaza remains on the agenda.

The Lebanese TV channel Al-Manar quoted Abu Zuhri who called the threats by Israel’s Labor Party leader against Hamas and Gaza confusion and disregard of the June 19 truce Egypt mediated.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak addressed a Party event at occupied Jerusalem and told those missing military action in Gaza not to worry for they will be back.

Barak was obviously vote-catching for he plans to run for prime minister against Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni (Kadima Party) and ex President Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud coalition).

Still, his address encouraged Jewish settlers evacuated August 2005 from Gush Katif settlement during Israel withdrawal from Gaza who announced their return.
