GAZA (Ma'an) -- Hamas does not fear the fall of Egypt’s president Mohamed Mursi and is concerned only with the stability of the neighboring country, a leader in the Islamist party said Wednesday.
“We do not fear the fall of President Mohamed Mursi," Ahmad Yousef told Ma’an. “We fear the dramatic changes that could cause things to go out of hand and lead to bloodshed”.
“There is no doubt that the whole Arab world is waiting and hoping that the situation in Egypt stabilizes,” he said.
“We only care about stability in Egypt regardless of who is in charge. Egypt is a lifeline to us; it’s a major factor in the stability of the internal Palestinian situation -- it is our backbone,” Yousef added.
He hoped a political solution could be found for the crisis and lead Egypt to the "shore of safety."
In Ramallah, President Mahmoud Abbas called for Palestinians not to interfere in internal issues of Arab countries, hours before Egypt's army chief announced a coup bringing down Mohamad Mursi.
Abbas reiterated the Palestinian leadership’s frequently reiterated position that it remains neutral and rejects all interference in any other Arab countries. more
