‘Hamas to continue to develop ties with Syria’
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Palestinian resistance group Hamas has said that it will continue to develop relations with the Syrian regime, which it recently mended after a rupture of over 10 years.
“Strengthening this relationship serves our ability to confront the escalating Israeli aggression,” Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said in a statement on Saturday.
Representatives of Hamas and other Palestinian factions on Wednesday met with Syrian regime President Bashar al-Assad in the capital Damascus.
Since 1999, Hamas had used Damascus as the headquarters for its leadership abroad, until 2012 when the Palestinian group severed relations with the regime and closed its offices in Syria following the eruption of the Syrian conflict.
The group governs more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
