<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;We congratulate the Egyptian people on  this outcome and consider it a victory for their will and sacrifices,  and the start of a new era in Egypt and the region,&#8221; the spokesman said  in a press statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC).</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a separate statement issued by its  information office, Hamas Movement congratulated the great people of  Egypt on their successful revolution and their achievement of their  goals.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;We mourn the martyrs of the Egyptian  revolution who irrigated this great victory with their pure blood, and  we wish all wounded heroes a speedy recovery,&#8221; Hamas underlined.</p>
