Report: Hamas weighs targeting US
According to Time magazine report, Hamas commanders holding secret meetings debating whether to target United States interests in the Middle East, to oppose US policies against Hamas. Hamas commander: ‘We shouldn't stand by idly while the Americans are plotting against us’
...
A commander of the armed wing told Time, “The US has become very hostile to the Palestinians. We shouldn't stand by idly while the Americans are plotting against us." He noted that Hamas chiefs felt their patience with the United States had run out and that it was time to take action against it.
Israeli military sources told Time that they were aware of the debate in Hamas over whether to strike US targets. An IDF official explained that up until now, Hamas has apparently held the view that they have one enemy – Israel, and they would leave fight the US up to insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Additionally, Hamas extremists are enraged over the United States support for Abbas, especially their apparently generous fiscal support. On Friday, US governmental officials told Reuters that the US had started a campaign projected to cost up to USD 42 million to bolster Hamas' political opponents ahead of possible early Palestinian elections.
The news was also reported in the Palestinian media, which noted that the US was funding Fatah with millions of dollars, aimed at strengthening Fatah’s command.
According to the reports, the United States Consulate in Jerusalem had already given USD 15 million towards boosting Fatah. It was noted that of that sum, USD 650,000 were allotted for children’s summer camps.
Senior Fatah officials vehemently denied the reports.
