Major-General Yoav Mordechai the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories has called reports that Hamas is considering canceling the section calling for the destruction of Israel "pure deceit and fraud".
Writing on Facebook, Mordechai said, "The Koran - our constitution and death for the sake of Allah is our highest wish - these are the true face of the Hamas terror organization and not the charter or its new document - they are "pure deceit and fraud." He concluded, "The Hamas terrorist organization can change a word in the charter or in the new document, but there is nothing real and credible about it, and they are not worth the paper they were written on ... A paper that constitutes a barrier behind which Hamas tries to conceal its criminal activities and ideology - but to no avail."
