GAZA cheap nike air max 180 , Feb. 29 (Xinhua) -- A senior leader of the Islamic Hamas Movement said on Monday that Hamas has no ties with extremist groups in Egypt's Sinai.

Musa Abu Marzooq, the deputy chief of the movement currently running the Gaza Strip, said Hamas is doing all it could to protect the borders between Gaza and Egypt.

Hamas "has not supported any group at the Palestinian borders and has not interfered in neighbor countries' affairs, especially Egypt," Abu Marzooq said in a statement.

The movement "would not allow any harm to Egypt's security and stability cheap nike air max 93 , particularly in Sinai," the statement added, adding that Hamas would suffer from any instability in the region.

"The movement was falsely accused of cooperating with extremists and terrorists in Sinai, while it was the first to confront extremism and the most threatened party of terrorism," the statement said.

Abu Marzooq said that his movement is keen on "resisting the occupation inside Palestine and has never gone beyond this policy cheap nike air max 360 , although it was attacked by Israel in more than one arena abroad."

He stressed the importance for the Islamic movement to maintain Egyptian and Arab security as a "basic principle" for being essentially tied to Palestine's security.

The statement by Abu Marzooq came amid local media reports that a high ranking delegation of both Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements is expected to meet with Egyptian officials in Cairo to discuss issues such as the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt.

Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said earlier this week that he accepted an initiative by Palestinian factions to run the crossing under his government's supervision.

The Hamas-run government in Gaza controls the border crossing, the only exit for Palestinians between Gaza and the world, through Egypt.

Israel imposed a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip after Hamas violently seized control of the coastal enclave in the summer of 2007. Israel had eased the blockade in the past few years instead of lifting it.

○ The Chinese Embassy in Japan issued a warning over Fukushima radiation last Sunday, causing panic in China

○ Meanwhile, in Japan cheap nike air max 98 , everything went on normally, tourists and residents remain largely unaffected by the matter

○ In recent years, as the popularity of Japan as a tourist destination increases, Chinese people have developed a love-hate relationship with their neighbor. Any political rift or societal change between the two countries can cause large-scale effects

An update of an old issue in Japan has sent ripples across the East China Sea to shake China. After the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced its latest analysis of the inside of its crippled nuclear plant in Fukushima that showed the radiation level there has seemingly risen from 73 sieverts per hour to 530 - a potentially lethal dose - the news has been traveling fast on the Chinese Internet.

Last Sunday, the Chinese Embassy in Japan issued a safety warning in reaction to this announcement cheap nike air max 270 , telling Chinese citizens to manage their travel plans to avoid potential radiation risks that may come if nuclear material leaks out into the surrounding environment. The warning caused even more discussion and when rumors started spreading, many Chinese became worried, some even canceling their trips to Japan.

Business as usual

A couple of weeks after the news came out, people in Japan seemed as calm and reserved as ever. There are still many Chinese tourists on the streets and in shops. According to Chinese tourism agencies, their business has been basically unaffected.

The director of a large Chinese travel agency told the Global Times last Sunday that Fukushima wasn't a regular travel destination for Chinese tourists anyway, and the company doesn't offer any travel packages there.

Li Dan cheap nike air max 97 , manager of a branch of the Beijing-based Tianping International Travel Agency, said that there haven't been any tour groups traveling to Fukushima since the 2011 earthquake and resulting tsunami. She also said that even tourists who travel independently do not usually go to Fukushima.

Last week, Will Davis, a member of the American Nuclear Society, refuted claims that radiation levels are soaring at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant as "demonstrably false." In a post on the society's blog cheap nike air max 95 , Davis wrote that the readings have not changed and that TEPCO's reported 530 sieverts per hour estimate was not "unimaginable" or particularly worrying.

His argument is that rather than a real increase from 73 to 530 sieverts, the 530 reading is simply a more accurate estimate of the radiation level at a particularly affected area that has remained relatively unchanged over the past few years.

Compared with China, news of the radiation levels in Fukushima has not generated much discussion in Japan. The responses from the media or public to the Chinese safety alert are also few.

For people living in Tokyo, three hours' drive from Fukushima, life has continued as usual. While they feel a little concerned whenever such reports come out cheap nike just do it shoes orange , they are not actively worried in their daily lives, several Japanese white-collar workers said.

For people trying to get their lives back to normal in the affected area, their biggest headache and frustration is the bad reputation and rumors that dog their agricultural products.

In supermarkets, consumers who are concerned about radiation contamination choose more expensive products from different areas over cheaper product from Fukushima. Local residents, NGOs and govern.
