We repeat today that we are with the establishment of a Palestinian state on any liberated part of Palestinian land that is agreed upon by the Palestinian people, without recognizing Israel or conceding any inch of historical Palestine.
The Hamas movement will lead Intifada after Intifada until we liberate Palestine – all of Palestine, Allah willing.
Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.
That is not correct. Where did you hear that?
These weapons liberated the land and by these weapons, we will continue the liberation process.
It will be based on it, but we are looking for the biggest points of agreement with our brothers in the (other) factions.
The U.S. administration and European countries should put pressure ... on the occupier and not the occupied and displaced Palestinian people.
The great Palestinian people should not be punished for choosing their leadership in free and democratic elections. Those who believe that economic pressures will force our government into submission are wrong.
The Israelis are trying to starve innocent people by taking money from our taxes, and we are going to fight this by all legal means. This collective punishment will not break the determination of the Palestinian people.
The continued escalation aims to shed more Palestinian blood, confuse the situation and hamper ... the formation of the Palestinian government.
The victory of Hamas is not only based on the corruption of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas has a vision and a program, and this is the reason why the Palestinian people chose Hamas. However, there is no doubt that the corruption helped Hamas's victory.
Today three-quarters of the Palestinian people are displaced: there are 5 million Palestinian refugees throughout the world.
We will prove to the people that we are able to rebuild our homeland.
I ask the American administration not to participate in any resolution that will double the suffering of the Palestinian people. I am convinced that the American people would not want to see the Palestinians suffer the way they do.
