Fatah claims Hamas leaders are afraid of Israeli murder threats

Trying to denigrate their political opponents, Fatah officials connect Hamas’ readiness for cease-fire with Israeli threat to assassinate Haniyeh and Mashaal. Hamas, however, offered truce only if Israel stops operations in the West Bank, thus allowing Hamas to transform Judea and Samaria into a terrorist state like Gaza.
Tzipi Livni so far rejected truce with Hamas, as it will allow the terrorist groups to dig in.
There is every reason for Israel to assassinate leaders of hostile Arab groups on weekly basis.
