Hamas Leader Says Egypt's New Muslim Brotherhood President Will End the Gaza Blockade and Protect Gaza From Israel

Hamas piece of shit leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, is saying today that he's confident that the new Egyptian President, Mohammed Mursi, will assist in lifting the blockade on Gaza and even will be there to protect the sows in Gaza from the Israelis.  Don't you find it interesting that Hamas is looking to Egypt now for protection instead of the mullahs in Iran who finance them?

And by the way, Haniyeh, the Egyptian military is going to tell that new Egyptian President that if he intercedes in Gaza, that chances are pretty damn good that the Israelis will kick the ever living shit out of Egypt and that the new President probably won't be alive when the dust and smoke settles.  So, Haniyeh, you STILL think that Mursi is going to rescue your fat ass?

Hamas says Egypt's Mursi will end Gaza blockade


The head of the Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip said on Friday he was confident Egypt's new president would shield the Palestinian enclave from Israeli attack and fully open its borders to end a trade blockade.

Mohamed Mursi, who won power in last month's presidential election in Egypt, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and ideologically close to Hamas.

The Gazan Islamists long complained that his predecessor Hosni Mubarak, ousted from power last year in a popular revolt, sided not just with Israel, but also with their political rival -- Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement.

So far, Hamas has seen little sign of a policy shift since Mursi took office and diplomats said the Egyptian leader had so many domestic problems that he could ill-afford to dedicate much time to re-tooling Cairo's relations with the Palestinians.

However, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's Gaza government, told worshipers in a mosque that change was coming.

"We are confident that Egypt, the revolution led by Mursi, will never provide cover for any new aggression or war on Gaza," he said. "We are confident that Egypt, the revolution led by Mursi, will not take any part in blocking Gaza," he added.

Israel launched a military offensive against Gaza in late 2008 in an effort to end repeated rocket attacks from Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist. Some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died in the three-week war.

Low level violence continues and Israel still imposes a rigid trade blockade on Gaza, arguing that it is needed to prevent weapons of arms-making materials into the enclave.

Politicians in Israel have expressed alarm in private over the election of Mursi and fear that their country's historical peace treaty with Egypt could be eroded over time.
