Hamas in the New York Times

Hamas in the New York Times: "On Wednesday, the New York Times ran an op-ed by Ahmed Yousef, titled “Pause for Peace,” in which Yousef calls for a “hudna,” (which he describes as a “long term truce”) between Israel and the Palestinians. The Times identifies Yousef only as “a senior adviser to the Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniya.”

Yousef is actually ideally situated to be Haniya’s senior advisor, specifically to attempt to bring Hamas’ message to a Western audience, as Yousef himself spent many years in America as the head of a Hamas front group"
