Senior Hamas official storms out of interview after pressed on merits of Oct. 7 attack​
​[IsraelTimes] Mousa Abu Marzouk refuses to answer when asked by pan-Arab channel whether onslaught was successful in ‘liberating Palestine,’ retorting: ‘Ask respectful questions’

Senior Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
official Mousa Abu Marzouk stormed out of an interview Saturday with the pan-Arab al-Ghad channel after being questioned about the impact on the people of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
of the October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre.

The interviewer noted that Hamas "said October 7 would liberate Paleostine," to which Abu Marzouk retorted that it was "illogical that 1,500 fighters would liberate Paleostine."

"Ask respectful questions," he demanded, to which the interviewer responded that he was "asking the question of the Paleostinian street, the question of the Gaza Strip."

Refusing to answer the question, Abu Marzouk instead demanded to end the broadcast and cut the interview short.

After the Hamas official stormed off, the host remarked that the display "unfortunately reflects Hamas’s way of thinking and its evasion of answers and questions regarding the nature of the current phase, in light of the destruction of the Paleostinian people."


Auto-translated from Hebrew by Grok
To those who missed it: Musa Abu Marzouk from Hamas angrily abandons an interview on Al-Rad channel:
Host: You said that October 7 would liberate Palestine
Abu Marzouk: It’s not logical that 1,500 fighters would liberate Palestine, ask respectable questions
Host: I’m asking the question of the Palestinian street
The host after the abandonment: This, unfortunately, reflects Hamas’s thinking and their escape from answers


Despite his statements, the senior Hamas politburo member told The New York Times in February that he would not have backed the October 7 assault had he known what the consequences would be for the Gaza Strip.

“If it was expected that what happened would happen, there wouldn’t have been October 7,” Abu Marzouk said. He claimed not to have been privy to the exact details of the planned assault, and said he could not have brought himself to approve it, knowing what he knows now.

His remarks at the time, a departure from previous statements by Hamas officials, were not well received by the group, which issued several statements criticizing Abu Marzouk’s comments.

Hamas’s popularity in Gaza has declined over the past two years, with many residents blaming the group for sparking the devastating war with its onslaught.

Earlier this year, sporadic protests against the terror group took place in the Strip, with Hamas attempting to detain and harm the dissidents.

The October 7 attack — in which thousands of Hamas-led terrorists burst across the Gaza-Israel border, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages, amid rampant acts of brutality and sexual assault — sparked the subsequent war in Gaza, which has flattened much of the enclave and seen tens of thousands killed.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 66,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed over 22,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
