Abu Zuhri: The war on Gaza did not stop

I saw this news reported in Malaysian TV few days ago & finally managed to find the Article about the visits in rallying local supports. But one thing I am eager to know more is on "Hamas's efforts to reach a calm agreement with the Israeli occupation authority" (Hamas spokeman in Malaysia's mission) vs. what has been reported on my previous post. Any insight to this is welcome!

KUALA LUMPUR(16, Feb 2008)-- Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas spokesman, has charged that the Israeli war on Gaza Strip did not stop as almost daily raids are reported while the reconstruction efforts did not materialize yet.

Abu Zuhri, speaking to PIC correspondent in the Malaysian capital on Sunday, said that his visit to Malaysia was in response to an invitation from the Islamic Party of Malaysia.

He said that the visit aims at rallying support for the Palestinian cause, to explain his Movement's positions and to expose the Israeli crimes during the aggression on Gaza.

Over five days of stay in Malaysia, Abu Zuhri held official meetings with a number of governors of Malaysian provinces, officials, parliament members and public figures.

He also met with the opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim during which Abu Zuhri briefed him on the war on Gaza and latest political developments in addition to Hamas's efforts to reach a calm agreement with the Israeli occupation authority.

Ibrahim promised to utilize his local and international relations to explain Hamas's positions.

Abu Zuhri described his meeting with Ibrahim as "important and fruitful", and quoted Ibrahim as declaring support for the Palestinian people and resistance topped by Hamas.

The Hamas spokesman participated in a number of seminars and rallies on the Palestine cause in addition to press conferences and interviews with TV channels, newspapers and magazines.
