Despite the refusal of the official Hamas representatives to condemn Monday’s terror attack in Tel Aviv – the Hamas spokesman in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, called it “a legitimate act of self-defense” and said Israel must take responsibility for its policy of “aggressive occupation” the timing of the attack is not convenient for the movement.

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar are investing a lot into extricating the Palestinian Authority from its financial troubles and international isolation. Its image as a terror government damages these efforts.
