: *Hamas: Crushing victory in the offing* Monday, 12 Jan 2009 http://www.presstv. ir/detail. aspx?id=81946§ionid=351020202<http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=81946§ionid=351020202> *Ismail Haniya vows victory over Israel* *The Hamas prime minister vows a final victory over Israel saying that Gazans are now stronger than ever as 'Palestinians are united today'.** * In a televised speech aired by al-Aqsa TV, Prime Minister Ismail Haniya said the Islamic movement is now "approaching victory." "The blood of [Palestinians] has not been shed in vain and Insha'Allah (God willing) it will bring us victory," Haniya said, as he described the resistance of Gazans up to this point as 'a miracle'. "I tell you that after 17 days of this foolish war, Gaza has not been broken and Gaza will not fall." He made the remarks as the Israeli military is gearing up for intensifying the onslaught on the Gaza Strip. Tel Aviv launched Operation Cast Lead on December 27 and escalated its air raids into a full-blown war inside the populated territory on January 3. The offensive has so far claimed at least 919 Palestinian lives and has left 4,100 others wounded. Ismail Haniya became Prime Minister in a 2006 election, which was described as free and fair by independent monitors. Months later, however, the Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas sacked Haniya and appointed a premier from his Fatah party. Following the incident Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in mid-June 2007. *Olmert: I told US not to vote for Gaza resolution** ** * <http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=81953§ionid=351020202>Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:37:06 GMT http://www.presstv. ir/detail. aspx?id=81953§ionid=351020202<http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=81953§ionid=351020202> *Egypt** opens airspace to Gaza aggressors?* http://www.presstv. ir/detail. aspx?id=81894§ionid=351020502<http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=81894§ionid=351020502> *Resistance rockets still target Israel* http://www.presstv. ir/detail. aspx?id=81903§ionid=351020202<http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=81903§ionid=351020202> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AREEKADAN ASHRAF --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "newsline" group.
