 Palestinian Hamas movement said on Wednesday the Israeli pullout is the harvest of the resistance and sacrifice the Palestinian people have devoted.
| And so the myth-making begins... |
Speaking to reporters on the possible Israeli withdrawal from some Palestinian cities mid August, Hamas member Ismael Hanniyah said the Palestinian people are reaching a historic victory that has taken the life of many resistance fighters for several generations. To liberate Gaza Strip and the northern parts of the West Bank is the first step to liberate the Palestinian territories and return the rights to Palestinians, he said. "Under our governance, the liberated cities will witness a prosperous future and will be peacefully defended," Hanniyah added.
| Oh, we can well believe it. Paleostinian governance is legendary... |
He further said the Israeli withdrawal will not be at the expense of Al-Quds and the West Bank, in addition to other surrounding cities. He affirmed the determination to further defend the Palestinian national heritage and independence. Hanniyah expressed optimism that the Palestinian Authority will not in anyway attempt to halt Hamas' activities and its legitimacy, adding that all Palestinian factions and resistant groups stand together for a unified perspective. |
