Qatar-based Hamas senior leader, Khaled Mashaal, has dismissed any internationally backed two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
During an interview last week with Kuwaiti podcaster Ammer Taki, Mashaal repeated the Iranian-backed terror group’s ultimate goal of “liberating” the area from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, meaning eradicating the Jewish state.
Mashaal boasted that Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacres of more than 1,200 Israelis “revived that dream” of wiping Israel off the map. The top Hamas terrorist noted with satisfaction that the genocidal slogan “from the river to sea” was currently being chanted by “American students and in European capitals.”
The senior Hamas official argued that there is “nearly a consensus” among the population in Gaza and the West Bank that no Jewish state can exist between the Mediterranean and the Jordan. In other words, Hamas’ one-state position is at odds with the internationally favored two-state solution.
Some Israeli and international pundits had initially hoped Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 would pave the way toward the establishment of a thriving and peaceful state in the coastal enclave. However, the top Hamas official stressed that the terror group’s long rule in Gaza had offered it “political and administrative cover” to build and expand its terrorism capabilities against Israel.
The interviewer reminded Mashaal, who lives a billionaire lifestyle in exile, that the ongoing war has brought widespread destruction and suffering in the Gaza Strip.
Denying any responsibility by Hamas for the human suffering in Gaza, Mashaal claimed that “the resistance cannot prevent human losses.”
And why is this man even still talking? Why do we even listen to anything Criminals have to say? Arrest him should be next, IMO!
