Some random Hamas goon slipped up earlier this week. He basically announced that Hamas is going to roll the West Bank as soon as Abbas maxes out on Israeli land concessions and on the $410 million that the US is giving him. This should be news to absolutely nobody, but it's apparently not the kind of thing you're supposed to say out loud:

Two Hamas leaders in the West Bank on Wednesday distanced themselves from a Gaza counterpart who bragged that the group would eventually take over the West Bank... earlier this week, a Hamas leader in Gaza, Nizar Rayan, told a rally of several thousand people that the group would one day pray in Abbas's West Bank headquarters, just as it had done in Gaza. Rayan also predicted that Abbas would be toppled. His remarks have infuriated Abbas's aides. On Wednesday, two Hamas leaders in the West Bank, Faraj Rumaneh and Hussein Abu Quaik, called a news conference and distanced themselves from Rayan. Rumaneh said he wanted to express his "discomfort" with the statements. "We think they contradict Hamas policy, which calls for dialog and national unity and reducing difference," he said.

We have to check, but that denial may be actually word for word what Hamas leaders were saying right before they took over Gaza. Maybe there are some verbs that are in different places. But that's about it.
