Hamas: Resistance never puts his weapon

In a statement welcomed the international conference in New York, the Hamas Islamic Resistance Movement said: “We welcome international efforts and positions to protect the Palestinian people's rights and form an independent Palestinian state.”

Hamas emphasized that recognizing the Palestinian government with full sovereignty is the result of the continuous struggle of the Palestinian people, adding: “As long as the occupation continues, its resistance and weapons are completely legal and we will never give up our resistance and weapons unless our rights are recovered.”

The stopping of the massacre of the Palestinian people and ending the occupation should be the first step in any international action for the Palestinian issue so that the occupation regime can be isolated and tried.
