GAZA, (PIC)-- Member of Hamas's political bureau Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that the US and Israel are both the biggest losers in the changes taking place in the Arab world as a result of the popular revolutions.

In a press statement to Safa news agency on Saturday, Dr. Zahhar ruled out that the Egyptian revolution could immediately impact the situation in the besieged Gaza Strip due to the ruling military council's preoccupation with its numerous and complex internal affairs.

The Hamas official denied there was any kind of contact with the Egyptian military council, but he said his Movement was following up the political developments in Egypt.

He underscored that the future relationship between Gaza and Egypt is contingent on the coming elections in Egypt and who would be the next president.

The official also pointed out that the talk about Egypt's reconciliation paper should be delayed until the situation in Egypt gets stable.
