Dear friends, here is an extract from a posting on this Blog, on Wednesday, November 16, 2005 ...
From Ynet News, Opinion, by Ofer Shelah (11.16.05, 11:56)
...Mark your calendars (January / February 2006): Israel, Hamas on a collision course
.... Until the Palestinians hold parliamentary elections in less than two months, Hamas will continue to battle for legitimacy and will avoid action that would re-ignite the conflict.... The result of all this is clear: In January, save for some sort of miracle, Hamas is expected to do very well in the elections. Afterwards, the organization will try to realize its power, and if it encounters opposition it will try to realize the retribution it has been promising for months.
... the path to conflict is clearly defined ....
