Sunni Hamas is urging Shia Hezbullah to give up its support for embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and
come together to murder Jews instead.
"We call on Hezbollah to take its forces out of Syria and to keep
their weapons directed against the Zionist enemy," Moussa Abu Marzouk, a
Cairo-based Hamas leader, said on his Facebook page.
The call
marked a further deterioration in relations between Hamas and Hezbollah,
two long-time allies who have each fought against Israel and advocate
its destruction.
Abu Marzouk said Shi'ite Muslim Hezbollah's involvement in Syria,
where Assad, a member of the Shi'ite-rooted Alawite sect, is fighting
mainly Sunni rebels, had stoked sectarian conflict.
Hamas has
denied some Lebanese media reports that its fighters were present in
Syria to train rebels in weaponry, bomb-making and tunnel digging.
On
Friday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised his group would keep
fighting alongside Assad's forces after it spearheaded the recapture of
the strategic town of Qusair.
Hamas's leaders in exile were once
based in Damascus but left, mainly for Egypt and Qatar, in 2012 as the
civil war escalated.
Kill the Jews now, and then we can kill each other later. What could go wrong?
