Politburo Chief of the Palestinian Resistance Hamas Movement, Khalid Mashaal, described revival of the so-called Palestinian-Israeli ‘peace talks’ as futile for the Palestinian nation as Tel Aviv is resolved not to grant any concession to the Palestinians.
"We believe that negotiating with the Zionist regime will be useless … because the enemy is not willing to give any concessions to the Palestine," Mashaal said on Monday.
He noted that the history shows that only resistance has forced Israel to withdraw from Gaza.
Mashaal also said that Gaza has been under attack for fifty days but was able to disrupt the plans of the Zionists.
The current war, Mashaal said, differs from its predecessors in the length and the scope of the Israeli attacks which led to the deaths of more than 2,000 people and the wounding of more than 10,000.
He further said that the Israeli crimes in Gaza are far more serious than the crimes committed during the Holocaust.
He stressed that this is a war of wills, and that the Palestinian people's advantage is that they are willing to absorb the heat while realizing that the powers of the "resistance" are fighting the Zionist entity and that the day will come when “the Zionists will leave our land.”
Gaza has been under Israeli fire for the last 50 days. More than 2,100 people, mostly civilians, have lost their lives and about 11,000 have been injured in the Israeli war since July 8. The United Nations says over 80 percent of the killed Palestinians have been civilians.
