Shunned by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization, the
Islamist group Hamas scored a publicity coup this week by defending its
policies in Gaza
with opinion pieces in two of the country's most influential newspapers on the
same day.
The New York Times and The
Washington Post gave space to Ahmed Yousef, a senior Hamas figure, on Wednesday
to argue that the United States
should not interfere in Gaza,
where Hamas took control after six days of bloody fighting against Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah fighters.
