Hamas believes Sen. Hillary Clinton, if elected president in 2008, will end President Bush's "unlimited military and diplomatic support for Israel" and adapt a more "evenhanded" approach toward the Palestinians, says the group's top political adviser.Speaking yesterday with WND Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein, Ahmed Yousuf, the top adviser to the Hamas leader in Gaza and to the deposed prime minister of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, said in recorded comments the group heard from "many Americans" that if the Democrats take the White House next year they will implement "drastic changes" to U.S. foreign policy and relations with the Palestinians. "I do believe Miss Clinton will have a more balanced policy when it comes to how to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict," Yousuf told Klein. "And I don't think she is going to give to the Israelis this unlimited military and diplomatic support that they are actually enjoying now; so … the future politics in the region will [see] a very drastic change when it comes to how to handle the Palestinian question." Yousuf, speaking in English, said he hopes Clinton will "follow in the footsteps" of her husband's administration when it comes to dealing with the Palestinians." During the [Bill] Clinton administration, his political stand was much, much better than the Bush administration," he said. "We're hoping Miss Clinton also will follow the steps of her husband." Yousuf said that for Clinton to enhance the U.S. image in the region she would need to "change the Bush doctrine on the 'war on terror' and to succeed in this you need to have an evenhanded policy (when) it comes to Palestine."The top Hamas adviser said any future president would need to "come and make a big change, a drastic change to foreign policy which is a disaster to them (Americans) in Iraq and Afghanistan." "We heard from many Americans there will be drastic changes in foreign policy," he said.Yousuf told Klein he believes the Republicans will lose in 2008, since the party "lost all Arabs and Muslims, because America in Iraq is in bad shape and in Afghanistan also."Hamas, responsible for scores of suicide bombings, shootings and rocket attacks, is classified by the State Department as a terrorist organization.To read more go to:
