GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Member of Hamas’s political bureau Osama Hamdan said on Sunday that his Movement wants “joint Palestinian rule” if the war comes to a halt in the Gaza Strip.
“The day after the battle is a Palestinian day. We went to Beijing where we negotiated as Palestinians and agreed on forming a national unity government to manage the Palestinian affairs in Gaza,” Hamdan told Agence France-Presse during an interview in Istanbul.
Hamdan said the US administration, Israel’s most prominent military supporter, was not doing enough to pressure Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu to put an end to his genocidal war on Gaza.
“The US administration does not exert sufficient or appropriate pressure on the Israeli side. Rather it is trying to justify the Israeli evasion of any commitment.”
Hamdan highlighted that Hamas’s armed wing still has a high level of ability to continue fighting the Israeli occupation army despite the casualties and losses sustained over more than 11 months of war in Gaza.
“There were martyrs and there were sacrifices … but in return, there was an accumulation of experiences and the recruitment of new generations into the resistance,” Hamdan underlined.
Commenting on Yemen’s last missile counterattack on Israel, the Hamas official said the attack, which was carried out by the country’s Ansarullah group, showed the limits of Israel’s anti-missile systems.
“It is a message to the entire region that Israel is not an immune entity,” he said, stressing that “even Israeli capabilities have limits.”
