SOT Hamas spokesman Abdel Aziz Rantisi: "I feel Israel is
insisting on security just for Israelis. I am promising (Israeli
Defence Minister Yitzhak) Mordechai that we will continue to
struggle against the terrorism of Israel. I believe the
Palestinian Authority will be more wise in the future. They
found that cracking down on Hamas brings nothing, it just
weakens the palestinians as a whole. I believe that there will
be no answer, the Palestinian Authority will not accept the
proposal of Mordechai";
