‘Bulgaria security forces raid, expel Hamas delegation’......Brennan: "talking to Hamas and Hezbollah is the right thing to do."(JPost).
Raid allegedly prompted by Israeli, US, British pressure; Bulgaria: Hamas officials threatened national security.
Bulgarian security forces on Friday raided the temporary residences of a visiting Hamas delegation in Sofia, and then expelled the officials from the country, Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported.
The Hamas delegation arrived in Bulgaria on Wednesday to present the “Palestinian narrative and expose the false Israeli narrative on the Palestinians and Hamas.”
The visit was the first of its kind by Hamas officials to a member of the EU. Ma'an quoted a statement released by Hamas' Change and Reform parliamentary list as saying that the Bulgarian move was at least in part prompted by Israeli, US and British pressure.
Hamas quickly slammed Bulgaria for the move, charging the country with bowing to Israeli pressure.
"We condemn this act, which reflects the scale of compliance with Zionist pressures," government spokesman Taher al-Nunu said.
Bulgaria later said that it had expelled the Hamas delegation because the terrorists threatened national security, according to Sofia News Agency.
"The four Palestinians expelled from Bulgaria posed a serious threat for national security," Bulgaria's State Agency for National Security said, adding that they had acted in accordance with Article 42 of Bulgaria's Foreigners Act, which allows for the expulsion of foreigners if they pose a threat to public order or national security.Read the full story here.
