Israel's Vice Premier Shimon Peres said Wednesday that a proposed Palestinian national unity government would be nothing more than a "facade," because Hamas is not interested in peace.
Hamas would use such a government in an effort to restore international funding that dried up after it took power, Peres said, according to the AP. "Hamas doesn't want peace, even if we give them '67 borders," Peres stated. "Hamas wants to use Fatah as a facade to get money."
Meanwhile, two Palestinians were seriously wounded when Israeli soldiers opened fire towards them in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahia, sources told WAFA. Medical sources at the Ministry of Health conveyed that the two are suffering serious wounds in their limbs.
