DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- The leader of Hamas said Wednesday that his Palestinian militant group will not renew a truce with Israel when it expires at the end of the year and accused the Jewish state of violating the agreement that has greatly reduced violence.

Khaled Mashaal, whose group has carried out dozens of deadly suicide attacks on Israelis over the years, also restated Hamas' rejection of U.S. and Israeli demands to disarm.

"All circumstances on the ground, the regional political atmosphere and the Palestinian situation are not encouraging to renew the truce," Mashaal told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "Hamas is not going to renew the truce because Israel did not abide by the conditions of the truce."

Mashaal said Israel hasn't released Palestinian prisoners, ended attacks on Palestinian areas and assassinations of militant leaders or stopped confiscation of Palestinian lands.

Translation - Israel must commit suicide.

Nothing has changed really in twenty years. The Pals are still the pawns of the Saudis. There is ONLY ONE solution to this entire issue -- and that has never changed either.

U.S. should demand this Hamas leader be turned over to us. He is a terrorist leader and thus belongs in Gitmo with his fellow terrorists, where we'll torture him with Christina Aguilera's first album.

All he is saying is that the Re-Supply phase of the current Hudna has been completed, and that Hamas is ready to move to the next phase in the Hudna cycle...

How can anyone negotiate in good faith with an organisation which says they will not rest until Israel is eliminated, killed, wiped out. Hamas has no intention of honoring any truce or agreement that does not further their cause.

He's a damn fool to want to go head to head with the IDF.
His life isn't worth 5 cents when the shooting starts.

Huh?? Say what?!?!?!??!?! Hamas had a truce with Israel!?!?!?!?!?!? Get outta here! You could have fooled me!
Now they say they won't renew their truce with Israel?!?!?! In other words, nothing has changed, the "truce" was merely a slowdown in the usual foul activities of the lower-than-pond-scum Hamastinian barbarians!
