They are isolated from most of the international community, under almost daily attack by the Israeli Army and seemingly disconnected from Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas.

Taher Nunu, Hamas Spokesman, said, "Bush, as he said, is coming to discuss a regional security plan. Such a plan aims at widening American and Israeli hegemony in the region and reinforce Israeli security in the Middle East, and is not in the interest of the Palestinian and Arab people. The second target of the visit is to tell the Palestinians to accept negotiation conditions with the occupation."
