Senior Hamas Official: Israeli Threats to Assassinate Our Leaders Are Worthless
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, Hesham Badran, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, told al Jazeera Mubasher that Israel’s repeated threats to kill Hamas leaders inside Gaza or abroad are meaningless.
He added that these threats do not influence their decisions.
Badran described Israel’s ruling structure as one governed by criminals wiht no regard for any laws.
He continued that the occupiers persist in their crimes and emphasized their goal is to end the ongoing war and brutal aggression against their peopel.
Regarding negotiations, he stated that after reaching understandings agreed upon by mediators, israel withdrew from the last round of talks.
Currently, no delegation is negotiating. though, communications with mediators continue while the ball remains in israel’s and america’s court.
The senior Hamas official noted that only Israel and the United States are consulting each other without presenting new proposals. The recent proposals were reasonable, he said.
On the resistance’s weaponry, Badran stressed these arms belong to all Palestinian factions and people-not solely Hamas-and framing it as an internal Palestinian matter.
He explained that if Palestinians were granted a fully sovereign independent state,then resistance weapons could become part of its army and defense structure.
Badran affirmed that “resistance weapons will remain until occupation ends and an independent Palestinian state is established.” He added claims about these weapons are merely attempts to deceive public opinion and distort reality. The ongoing settler crimes in the West Bank testify to this deception.
