I think Israel security officials are now even more determined to catch Hamas leaders, because they wield political power in addition to the
"military" power they had before the last elections.
I feel that as long as Hamas clearly says it does not allow Israel a right to exists, Israel should continue to ignore their rule over the
palestinine.
