The Hamas leadership was incensed Wednesday at the news that the Bush administration has agreed to transfer nearly $100 million to Fatah.

America is stoking the civil war amongst us, said Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan. "This is a flagrant interventon in the internal affairs of the Palestinians [sic]."

Fifty-eight Arabs were killed in Fatah-Hamas clashes during in January, according to the PA health ministry.

The US has adopted a pro-Fatah, anti-Hamas stand since the latter terror group scored an upset victory in "Palestinian" elections last year.

Despite Hamas' fury, the US Congress is not expected to block the funds.
