Despite rejections from big Palestinian factions, Hamas is to finalise its Cabinet and will submit names to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a group spokesman said on Friday.
There is blame enough to go around with Israel, the US and the Palestinian National Authority each playing a role in bringing us to the current state of affairs. But, in no way, can Hamas be absolved of responsibility
During an Israeli cabinet meeting on Sunday, Israeli interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that the Palestinian Authority was a ?terrorist authority,? now that Hamas had taken charge.
Hamas's victory in the Palestinian polls shows increasing public trust in resistance groups leading the government, Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrillas said.
