Washington – Ismail Haniya, the head of the Islamist Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, has written twice to US President Barack Obama but has not received a reply, a Hamas spokesperson said on Sunday.

Taher al-Nunu said Haniya had asked Obama to intervene against an Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the enclave and recognise Hamas rule as legitimate in light of its victory in the 2006 Palestinian general election.
“Prime Minister Haniya asked Obama to end the siege around the Gaza Strip and on the Hamas government and to respect the result of the Palestinian elections.”
“He has received no answer from the president or his office.”
Since Hamas, which is committed to the destruction of the Jewish state, violently seized power in the Gaza Strip in 2007, Israel and Egypt have imposed a tight blockade, allowing in only essential and humanitarian goods.
Hamas has carried out many deadly attacks against Israeli civilians and is blacklisted as a terrorist organisation by the United States and much of the international community.
Did he put postage on the letters or did he send it by missle?
And for all of those of you who clame obama is pro hamas and all of that nonsense here is your answer, he is totally ignoring the head of terrorist group and that’s not from love
How much did the Obama administration pay to the Hammas for this bogus complaint????
Hamas was set up to make their statements so we dumb jews will think that the administration is on our side. No skin off Hamas’s back. No skin off the administration, and they accomplished everything they wanted without a shot. Now Schumer our great protector and friend can claim that Pres Obama is not only on our side , he is Isreals best friend since Truman.
They addressed the first letter to the white house in Pennsylvania. The second letter was sent to Washington State instead of Washington D.C. Maybe at the third letter they will get it right.
I find his last name funny. ‘Haniya’, “He who gives Chein to Y-a”. I think it’s uncanny how similar it is to Hannibal, who’s name in ancient Carthagian means “He who gives Chein to Ba’al”!
That’s funny. I also wrote a letter to the president and he still hasn’t answered and I have never fired, or even ever seen, a missile and I am a US citizen and tax payer.
Yea this is oldly timed. As for “Rush is right” its a cult. No use arguing.
