Hamas pledges to ‘crush’ Israel if Gaza attacked
Israeli media reports on Wednesday cited Hamas leader in Gazoo Yahya Sinwar as saying that while the movement was not looking to start a war, it was well prepared to take on the Tel Aviv regime’s military forces at any time. "We do not seek confrontation with the Israelis, but if the confrontation happens, we will crush them," Sinwar was quoted as saying on Tuesday. The Hamas chief, who was appointed in February to succeed Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... to head the movement’s political office in Gazoo, said any "stupid steps" by Israel against the coastal enclave would be met with a response greater than the one the movement gave to the 2014 Israeli invasion. July marked the third anniversary of the 51-day Israeli war on Gazoo that left more than 2,200 people dead and over 11,000 others injured. Gazoo stood its ground and was able to repel the ruthless invasion. "Israel is not launching a new war against Gazoo, which stresses Tel Aviv's fear of the unknown that awaits it in Gazoo," the Paleostinian leader asserted. Posted by: Fred 2017-08-17 |
