Exiled Hamas leader says Gaza raid result of Bush's visit

Abbas: IDF raid on Gaza is a massacre which can't be ignored
IDF kills 19 Palestinians in raids on Gaza Strip
Haaretz, 15.1.08. The exiled leader of Hamas said Tuesday that the Gaza raids were the fruit of U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to the Middle East region.

Khaled Meshal, in an interview with The Associated Press in Damascus where he lives, accused Bush of inciting Israeli leaders.

"This crime is the ugly fruit of Bush's visit to the region. He has incited the Zionists and has exerted pressure on the Palestinian side to become more hardline against Palestinian dialogue," he said during the interview in his office.

"This proves that our people are great and our leaders sacrifice their sons. These are the real leaders that meld with their people and defend them, not those who infiltrate to the futile negotiating table with the Zionist entity, he said of Fatah."
