Hoyer of Maryland, the House majority leader, after a meeting in Ramallah. “We trust that Fayyad won’t steal or misappropriate money. Not to say some won’t be, but everyone wants to strengthen Abbas and Fayyad, those who are positive and helpful, instead of those, like Hamas, who are negative and dangerous.”"
