Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh urged Palestinians Saturday to reject "displacement" within the Gaza Strip or out of the blockaded enclave to Egypt, following Israeli air strikes and calls to evacuate.
"We are on the verge of a great victory and a clear conquest on the Gaza front," Haniyeh said in a speech broadcast on Hamas-run Al-Aqsa television. "Enough is enough, the cycle of intifadas (uprisings) and revolutions in the battle to liberate our (Palestinian) land and our prisoners languishing in occupation (Israeli) prisons must be completed."
Iran's strategists are, apparently, unaccustomed to free speech in a democracy and to a society that loves to protest as much as Israelis do, and mistook it for real weakness.
