The Palestinian PM, Ismail Haniyeh, of the Hamas organization, embarked today on an international tour of several Islamic states, including Lebanon and Iran. Haniyeh is expected to ask for financial aid of Iran as the economic situation within the PA is very poor. Haniyeh is also expected to request assistance in lifting the international isolation imposed on his government. The isolation results of Hamas' positions. The organization which today controls the government of the PA, does not recognize Israel and rejects its right to exist. The organization's goal is to establish an Islamic state over all the territory of the State of Israel. Many in Israel believe that due to Hamas' extreme views negotiations between it and Israel are doomed to fail from the onset.
In local news, former PM, Binyamin Netanyahu, was today question by the police regarding an alleged involvement in a corruption scheme which allegedly occurred during his administration in the late 1990's.
