<p style="font-size:10pt;">DAMASCUS, (PIC)&#8211; Dr. Moussa Abu  Marzouk, deputy chief in Hamas&#8217;s politburo said Israel is most concerned  of repercussions following the shift of power in Egypt.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">That is because peace agreements were left undefined after the Egyptians ousted the ruling regime.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;Israel fears Arab regimes will turn  towards democracy, which will change positions on the Israeli occupation  as time passes,” Abu Marzouk said in an interview Monday with Palestine  Today.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abu Marzouk added that the fall of the  former Egyptian regime had ”cast its shadow” on the West Bank-ruling  Fatah authority, and cost it its main support.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;The Arabs and Muslims are living in a new  era and vigorous aspirations for full freedom and an end to humiliation  and oppression they lived in for a long period.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;The Arabs managed to break the barrier in  the face of oppressive regimes forcing them to change and respond to  just popular aspirations,” he said, adding that reforms should have a  direct reflection on the Palestinian cause.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;There is still much scramble between  forces of change and conservative forces, and the barrier of fear has  fallen. The Arabs are living a new stage leaning towards freedom and  ending favoritism and longtime rule, and the depletion of wealth for  western interests, and consumption of political attitudes and relations  with Israel.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;The change process has been launched and  will turn back its wheels. The revolution had changed decades of  dictatorship and will constrained by colonialism,” he said, adding that  current changes will show face on the entire region, with Palestine at  the forefront.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Separately, Abu Marzouk said Hamas&#8217;s take  on Egypt&#8217;s papers had ”changed radically” after leaked documents  revealed the Palestinian Authority had offered unprecedented concessions  in negotiations with Israel.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He maintained that reconciliation remains a national priority.</p>
