Hamas Is Fighting The Course Of The Palestinian People – Envoy

Hamas Militia which attacked festival goers on Saturday leading to the death of about 260 people, is fighting the course of the Palestinian people.

It is not also a terrorist organisation

Those are the stances of the Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdallah Shawesh who addressed journalists in Abuja.

The attack on Israeli festival goers on an open-air festival has been described as the worst in Israeli history, and triggered series of other conflicts around the world.

He also asserted that the organisation which carried out the attacks should not be described as a terrorist organisatiion.

“The group is not a terrorist organisation, but it is fighting the course of the people, to liberate their land from Israeli occupation.

“The ceasefire agreement between the warring parties depends on Israel, which own a comprehensive military formation with support from allies like the United States.

“Many women and children were killed, medical doctors displaced and Ambulances destroyed in the renewed onslaught, the oldest churches in the world was destroyed by the Israeli forces.”

Condemning the incessant killings on both sides, he said there should be fair treatment of all parties, as, according to him, the lives of all individuals mattered.

The Eagle reports that the Hamas took both Israel and the global community by surprise Saturday when it stormed a festival venue of the Jews, arresting many and also killing others.

It says refusal of the Jewish nation to grant the Palestinians independence is reason for the attack.

There has been reprisal attacks by Israel and casualties have climbed on both sides.
