Haniyeh: We won't back down from 'Palestine'

Senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh continued to threaten Israel on Thursday, declaring in a speech in Khan Yunis that Hamas will never back down from its goal of controlling all of what it considers “Palestine”, urging Palestinian Arabs to continue attacking Israelis.

"Hamas will not accept a solution apart from Palestine on all the land from the river to the sea," he said in the speech, excerpts of which were quoted by NRG/Makor Rishon. “We are building the power underground and above ground. Behind enemy lines. On the earth, sea and sky.”
