Any post-war plan in Gaza without Hamas is ‘delusion’: Haniyeh
Palestinian Territories — AFP
Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has said that any plan for post-war Gaza that does not involve Hamas is just a “delusion”.
“Any arrangement in Gaza or in the Palestinian cause without Hamas or the resistance factions is a delusion,” said Haniyeh in a televised speech.
Haniyeh’s comments came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he will not allow “the entry into Gaza of those who… support ‘terrorism’ and finance ‘terrorism.'”
Haniyeh, however, said he was open for talks for ending the Israeli assault and “putting the Palestinian house in order both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip”.
He said Hamas was ready for talks that could lead to a “political path that secures the right of the Palestinian people to their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital”.
