Hamas spokesperson Jehad Taha has lauded the stances of the Algerian and South African delegations who spearheaded the expulsion of the Israeli occupation state's delegation from the African Union summit in Addis Ababa.

Such an action expresses the "unwavering position of the states of Algeria and South Africa in support of the just Palestinian issue at international forums and against the genocidal Israeli occupation, which makes every endeavour to abolish the Palestinian people's rights," the Hamas spokesperson added.
