Hamas, Islamic Jihad say ‘March of Return’ to continue until Gaza siege lifted
Following a meeting of Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders, the Gaza-based terror groups vow clashes on the border will continue until Israel lifts its blockade on the Palestinian enclave.
“The leaderships of the two movements affirmed the following positions: Continuing the March of Return and breaking the siege until it achieves its goals…and preserving its peacefulness,” the groups say in a joint statement.
The statement comes after reports said armed factions in Gaza agreed to temporarily halt violence along the border amid Egyptian efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Iran’s FM accuses Mossad of running ‘program to kill’ nuclear deal
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif accuses Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency of working to scuttle the 2015 international meant to curb Iran’s program.
“Incredible series of coincidences. Or, a simple chronology of a MOSSAD program to kill the JCPOA,” writes Zarif on Twitter, referring to the agreement by its official name.
His tweet includes intelligence revelations by or attributed to the Mossad that coincided with developments related to the nuclear deal, as well as a visit by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to Europe in July. Zarif mistakenly writes the trip took place in June.
