6. The new set of maps is no surprise for Hamas. It's what they wanted.

The new map followed weeks of negotiations and at least two earlier sets of maps.

Thr "arab source" is identified as a diplomat who confirmed an earlier report that "Egyptians threatened Hamas delegation head Khalil al-Hayya with deportation and insulted him over his refusal to accept a deal." The insult may not have been done face to face, but it implies some direct contact with the Hamas delegation head after the map was submitted.

This all may be a pure pressure tactic on the part of Egypt, but it is unlikely that the story is completely made up.

I don't view the diplomatic contacts with Hamas as "negotiations". It's extortion, pure and simple. Beastly Boy Jul 18 #8
