Haniyeh: We will not recognize Israel- Ma’an
Prime Minister of the Hamas-run Gaza government Ismail Haniyeh restated Friday his party’s position that they will not recognize Israel.
In an address to worshipers gathered at An-Nour mosque in Gaza City for the last Friday of Ramadan, Haniyeh said “we will not leave any centimeter of Palestine, and we will not recognize Israel and the occupation.”
The Hamas chief called the revolutions sweeping the Arab world, “the introduction for Palestinian liberation.”
Noting the occasion of Al-Quds Day, an event marked internationally by solidarity activists, Haniyeh lauded nations remembering Jerusalem, and slogans raised “to liberate the capital of Palestine.”
