RAMALLAH, WEST BANK -- The militant Hamas organization has no intention of halting attacks against Israel, a leading Hamas official said yesterday. He insisted that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat hasn't even asked the group to stop the nine-month uprising in the Israeli-occupied territories or its suicide attacks against Israeli citizens.

Sheik Hasan Yosef said bluntly that Hamas would not honour the U.S.-brokered truce to which Mr. Arafat had grudgingly agreed.

So, how is Israel supposed to make peace with the Palestinians?
