B http://www.geostrategy-direct.com/geostrategy-direct/secure/2011/05_25/2.asp Syria uprising has created an immediate crisis for Hamas TEL AVIV - The Israeli intelligence community has determined that Hamas is fearing a debacle. Officials said the Israeli intelligence community assessed that the Hamas leadership was alarmed by the revolt in Syria. They said Hamas political bureau has been searching for options should his organization be expelled from Syria. http://www.geostrategy-direct.com/geostrategy-direct/images/2011/syriaclashe s.jpg A screengrab of footage broadcast by Syrian state television, which shows clashes in Deraa. <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/08/syria-unrest-killed-damascus-as sad> AFP/Getty Images _____ "Hamas needs international cooperation quickly," an official said. Officials said Hamas has been forced to achieve a reconciliation agreement with Egypt to ensure the survival of the Islamic regime in the Gaza Strip. They said Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Masha'al wants to develop the Gaza Strip as a haven should the regime of President Bashar Assad fall. "If Syria falls the only haven left is Iran and that would kill Hamas as a Sunni Arab organization," the official said. "Then Masha'al loses everything." The revolt in Syria pushed Hamas to sign a reconciliation accord with the rival Fatah movement in April. Officials said Masha'al overruled the opposition of Hamas military chiefs, particularly Ahmed Jabari, regarded as the ruler of the Gaza Strip. The intelligence community has determined that the Fatah accord was regarded by Hamas as temporary. Officials said Hamas was expected to delay implementation and scrap any cooperation with Fatah by 2012. This marked at least the third major attempt for Fatah and Hamas to reconcile. The two Palestinian organizations signed accords in 2007 and 2008 in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, none of which was implemented. Officials said Masha'al was persuaded by Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh to agree to Fatah unity. They said Haniyeh argued that the fall of Syria would spark a resumption of major unrest in the Gaza Strip. In March 2011, Hamas quelled major protests in the strip. Masha'al and other Hamas leaders have requested a haven in such countries as Egypt, Jordan and Qatar. So far, all of these countries have rejected Hamas. Hamas has sought to lower its profile in Syria amid the revolt. Hamas leaders have refused to condemn the Assad crackdown on the opposition.
