Hamas Politburo chairman Ismail Haniyeh said that the recent deadly terror attacks in the West Bank are “a source of pride” for the terror group.
The Times of Israel reports that Haniyeh made the remark during an hour-long speech Sunday delivered to tens of thousands of supporters in a Gaza City square at a rally marking the 31st anniversary of Hamas’ founding.
“I will also respond to the Zionists who are saying what is happening in the West Bank is based on directives and arrangements from Gaza,” Haniyeh said. “This is an accusation we do not deny… because it is a source of pride reigning over all of us.”
