DEBKAfile: Mahmoud a-Zahar, who is terminally ill with cancer, in effect handed down his political-military testament. It contained the incoming Palestinian government’s point-by-point response to the conditions laid down by the United States, Israel and the Middle East Quartet (sans Russia) for dealing with a Hamas-led government – recognize Israel, renounce terror and honor international accords. He showed the Islamic terrorists to be unmoved by threats of isolation and the restrictive rules of engagement the Olmert government proposes to impose on a Palestinian Authority after Hamas is sworn in. Responding to Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s election pledge to set Israel’s final borders, the Hamas leader declared total war on the Jewish state and its very existence. A-Zahar scorned the constitutional “white” revolution to unseat Hamas which Abu Mazen attempted on the last day of the departing, Fatah-dominated legislature. He was also telling Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades that Hamas could match the new Aqsa 207 Katyusha rockets they had just acquired.
