On Friday, July 26, Egyptian authorities announced the arrest of ousted President Mohammed Morsi over an array of accusations, the most significant of which, according to the investigating judge, is Morsi’s conspiring with Hamas to carry out aggressive acts in the country, including attacks against police stations and soldiers.
It appears Hamas — the Islamist movement that has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007 — has recently decided to break its silence and respond to accusations leveled against it by Egyptian authorities.
