Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal on Thursday rejected any attempt to disarm his Palestinian Islamist movement in Gaza as demanded by Israel, saying the group's ******* were "sacred". "The ******* of the resistance are sacred and we will **t accept that they be on the agenda" of future negotiations with Israel, Meshaal told a news conference in Doha where he lives in exile. Israel has consistently linked the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, devastated during its 50-day war with Hamas that ended on Tuesday, to the territory's demilitarisation. ** one can disarm Hamas and its resistance," he said of the Palestinian fighters.
