A settler rabbi congratulated a Hamas member on his election to the Palestinian parliament, a report said. Rabbi Menachem Froman traveled to Hebron on Sunday to congratulate Sheik Naif Rajoub, who won election to the Palestinian Authority legislature last week, the anti-Israel Council for the National Interest reported. Froman, who lives in the West Bank settlement of Tekoa, has long favored dialogue with the Islamist terrorist group, saying it is more representative of the Palestinians than Fatah.
