In the video, the eighth Zawahiri has released, he did not make reference to the recent car bomb attacks in the UK, but criticised Hamas in the Palestinian territories for "abandoning Sharia" [Islamic law], "agreeing to democracy" and confronting Fatah. He urged Hamas members to return to religion, honour and "Arabness", and but also sharply attacked Fatah, the western-backed Palestinian party, and accused it of treason.

He questioned the position of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with respect to the Arab peace initiative and international resolutions on the peace process in the Middle East. In an audio extract posted on the internet last month, al-Zawahiri, called on Muslims around the world to back Hamas with money and weapons. "We tell our mujahidin brothers in the Hamas movement that we and all the Islamic nation stand by your side, but you have to correct your path," he said.
