In a statement, faxed to press, Abu Zuhri said that Barak has implicitly acknowledged the fact that there is ' an international conspiracy by Israel and international players against Hamas underway'.

Abu Zuhri reiterated his party's commitment to the resistance against the Israeli occupation, whatever the cost for such resistance is.

Ehud Barak, Israel's defense minister, was quoted Tuesday as telling the Israeli radio-Hebrew service, that Israel can not achieve the dream of Israel, America, Arab and European countries to diminish Hamas.
