Hamas shaken and cautious after Mursi ouster And Egyptian upheaval...
Stunned silence among Hamas officials in the Palestinian enclave, which shares a border with Egypt’s lawless Sinai Peninsula, greeted his overthrow last Wednesday by Egypt’s military.
A shaken Hamas – an offshoot of the deposed leader’s Muslim Brotherhood – is cautiously watching the scenes of street battles between pro- and anti-Mursi demonstrators in Egypt’s cities and pondering how the turmoil will play out and what it means for its own rule in the Gaza Strip.
