HAMAS' BRUTAL REPRESSION AND EXPLOITAATION OF GAZA Khaled Mashal, former Chairman of Hamas Chairman,January 2024 interview with Kuwaiti podcaster Amar Taki https:i/www memri.org/tv/khaled-mashal-hamas-leader-abroad- reject-two-state-solution-October-seven prove-liberation-river-sea-realistic Repression and exploitation of Gaza: "We have used our rule [of Gaza] to build up the resistance with all its means—the weapons, the weapons production, the planning, the training, and the tunnels—while our backs were safe." "Hamas did not set its eyes on ruling [Gaza]. Hamas was looking for a ruling authority that would [serve] the resistance." Purpose of October 7 massacre: "following October 7, I believe that the dream and the hope for Palestine from the River to the Sea, and from the north to the south, has been renewed. This has also become a slogan chanted in the U.S." Rejection of Two State Solution and Destruction of Israel: "First, we have nothing to do with the two-state solution. We reject this notion, because it means you would get a promise for a [Palestinian] state, yet you are required to recognize the legitimacy of the other state, which is the Zionist entity. This is unacceptable." Ghazi Hamad, Hamas Spokesman Is Hamas preventing Gazans from evacuating? "We want them to stay yes. To stand against the Israeli evacuation." "Israel has no right to exist."

Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs and are proud to sacrifice martyrs." https://medium.com/the- geopolitical-economist/ghazi-hamad-we-are-proud-to-sacrifice-martyrs-99c212bf6904 "We are called a nation of martyrs." "And we are proud to sacrifice martyrs." "There will be a second, a third, a fourth." When asked whether he sought the annihilation of Israel, Hamad matter-of-factly replied, "Yes, of course." https://thehill.com/opin ion/international/4295601-human-sacrifice-is-central-to- hamass-strategy/
