HANIYEH'S STATEMENT... WHAT DOES IT MEAN? AGAIN!!

For months, many have talked about the split between Hamas and Iran based upon the resurgence of the Muslim Brotherhood; the foundation of Hamas.

Many have pontificated over the issue of Hamas and Fatah failure to "unite".. whatever that means in the Middle East.

It's been clear for sometime now that Hamas was pulling back into the MB camp and the tensions that has created even inside Hamas.

So, if none of this is new information, then why the announcement by Haniyeh now?

My opinion is simple.. as always!

Haniyeh sees the time growing short for Iran and Israel, with conflict not far behind.

He must make every effort, one that will probably be futile, to convince Israel they will not support Iran in a war and thus hopefully avoid the guaranteed destruction of his forces.

The short answer.... Haniyeh thinks Israel is about to act and he is trying to save Hamas!

Did he get the orders from the MB to send this message to the world?

Probably.

I will tell you this, Iran was the first nation to hear  the message  given they already knew it was coming.

As for the continued divide between Hamas and Fatah.. .the MB are and will continue to be hard pressed to solve  this issue.

As I have said in the past, part of this issue is based on pure profit! 

Owning the tunnel system into Gaza is a cash cow for Hamas and sharing the funds and decisions is not something local leadership is willing to do.

Unity between Hamas and Fatah will come with time and it will come when the MB has other issues more pressing off the table.

Here is what everyone needs to  take away from these two statements.

It's one thing for a talking head who is out to make money on book signing circuit to say conflict is imminent.

When someone like the leader of Hamas makes it a point to tell the world they will not support Iran in a conflict, it's time to get very worried.

If Haniyeh believes this, than so does the MB and that is even more ominous.

Here is Haniyeh's and Hamas  biggest obstacle...... Does Israel believe him?

My answer..... How can Israel risk believing him... and he knows it...
