Report: Hamas Using "Truce" With Israel to Take Over West Bank.....

Only a matter of time......

Hamas plans to use the current ceasefire with Israel to take over the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, a report said.

The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs said in a report that Hamas would use the temporary ceasefire to bolster its presence in the West Bank. The report, authored by Jonathan Dahoah Halevi, asserted that Hamas wants to capture the position of chairman of the Palestinian Authority, now held by Mahmoud Abbas. "An important objective for Hamas is winning the Palestinian presidential election, which will be held when Mahmoud Abbas finishes his term of office in December," the report, titled "The Hamas Interest in the Tahdiya with Israel," said. "The lull will permit Hamas to prepare the field to take over from Abbas."
