Press Statement 

Issued by the Islamic Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas 

Regarding the show of support expressed by Palestinians in the occupied territories of 1948 for Gaza

Hamas expresses its sincere gratitude to the people of Palestine in the occupied territories in 1948, particularly those residing in Haifa, who have come out in full force to voice their never ending support for the people of Gaza and denounce the on-going Zionist crimes and violations perpetrated against the besieged Gaza Strip. This massive show of support confirms the failure of various schemes aiming to whitewash the Palestinian identity and the national awareness of Palestinians. This also confirms that the Judaization and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause will not succeed. Today our people are showing great patriotism and adherence to the rights and national principles of Palestine despite the amount of pressure, injustice and oppression practiced upon them.

We emphasize on the necessity of continuing these demonstrations and extend them to all parts of Palestine and Diaspora due to its great importance in concreting the rights of Palestinians and foiling any projects vying to liquidate the just Palestinian cause.
