Press Statement
On the 67th anniversary of Nakba, Hamas reaffirms a set of national constants:
- Resistance is the only way to achieve our national goals, the absurd negotiations are the way of weak people.
- A real national reconciliation begins with the PA severing all collaboration with the "Israeli" occupation, and to align itself with the interests of our people and their choice and national constants.
- The blockade imposed on Gaza by the Israeli occupation is a crime that is amplified when the siege is also carried out by those who claim patriotism or nationalism. The Palestinian people will hold those who contributed to Gaza blockade accountable.
- Releasing our prisoners is a priority, their long days of suffering at the hands of the Israeli jailor will end soon.
- The right of return is inalienable and scared, and the refugees will return to their lands from which they were expelled through aggression, massacres and malice. Our people will never forgive those who contributed to the crime of expulsion and exile.
- Our people in Jerusalem and the West Bank are in our hearts. We will, hand in hand, liberate our lands.
- We express our salutations to our people in the pre-1948 Palestine who are still clinging on to their identity and lands while their eyes and hearts long for Jerusalem and freedom.
