From A/P:
... Hamas' founders and top political leaders gathered on the same stage for the first time in a decade, vowing to go on fighting Israel and claiming victory for the impending withdrawal.
UPDATE -- Aug. 16: From CNN: Israeli forces arrest 50 at Gaza settlement.
As a midnight deadline to voluntarily leave Gaza approached, Israeli police arrested about 50 protesters Tuesday at the settlement of Neveh Dekalim, Israeli security sources said.
The demonstrators were trying to block vans that were coming to ferry out departing settlers.
Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz warned, "We will take action against anyone who violates the law."
Contrast the two... Hamas is "declaring victory" and aligning themselves with the new Palistinian government. We'll soon see who's bed Abbas is sleeping in !
