Hamas issue warning on peace conference
The militant Hamas group’s top leaders in Gaza and Syria warned the moderate Palestinian president not to “fall into the trap” of a forthcoming US-sponsored peace conference with Israel.
Ismail Haniyeh, who was deposed as Palestinian prime minister after Hamas violently seized Gaza in June, urged President Mahmoud Abbas to mend his rift with the Islamic militant faction and criticised him for planning to attend the peace conference next month.
