Jason Greenblatt, the US Special Representative for International Negotiations, blasted Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations on Monday, in the wake of comments by Hamas officials who told The Wall Street Journal that there will be no calm in the region as long as Israel is on “Palestinian land” and Gaza is besieged.
“Continued terror threats from Hamas, which claims: ‘The region…will not enjoy calm as long as the enemy [Israel] is on Palestinian land and Gaza is besieged.’ Hamas & Palestinian Islamic Jihad continue to bring misery & suffering to Palestinians in Gaza,” tweeted Greenblatt.
