“Israel” Concerned About New Offices for Hamas in Jordan, Egypt

Senior "Israeli" security sources said that Tel Aviv is concerned about Egyptian and Jordanian intentions to allow Hamas to open offices in Amman and Cairo, and considered the move as "granting legitimacy to terror".

The sources said that both Washington and Tel Aviv are concerned that the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world is gaining more power, and claimed that the Brotherhood challenges the Arab regimes and presents itself as an alternative.
"Israeli" security and political leaders stated that, by hosting Hamas, Cairo will be jeopardizing its close relations with the "Israeli" entity.

The leaders added that Egypt played an important, and undeniable role in the release of corporal Gilad Shalit, "but its decision to host a terrorist group cannot be taken lightly", and added that "Israel" will be holding talks about the issue with a number of concerned countries, mainly referring to its strongest ally, the United States.

Also, a security source in Tel Aviv said that the fact the Turkey hosting a number of former Hamas detainees, who were released under the Shalit swap-deal, "is also a negative indicator showing that Turkey is interested in freezing its relations with "Israel" and maintaining strong ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Arab regimes", according to the source.
