The West would do well not to send international troops to monitor the situation in Gaza, Hamas terrorists said yesterday – because they would be treated like an occupying army and subject to killings by terrorists, just like the IDF.

"We will not allow any foreign forces to step a foot into the Gaza Strip and we will deal with them as occupation forces," Hamas's Izz El-Deen Al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement. "We will only receive these forces with shells and rockets."

Ismail Haniyeh, who still claims the title of PA Prime Minister, agreed. "We in Gaza and the Palestinian territories are under occupation and we don't need any more forces to pressure the Palestinian people. We are able to solve our problems," Haniyeh said..
