Hamas: ‘Brave resistance’ of Palestinian people led to state recognition by 3 European nations

A senior Hamas official says it was the “brave resistance” of the Palestinian people that spurred three European countries in quick succession — Norway, Ireland and Spain — to recognize a Palestinian state.

“These successive recognitions are the direct result of this brave resistance and the legendary steadfastness of the Palestinian people… We believe this will be a turning point in the international position on the Palestinian issue,” says Bassem Naim, a senior Hamas political bureau member.
