Hamas leader vows ‘decisive’ protests during US embassy move next week
The Gaza leader of the Hamas terrorist group says protests along the Israeli border next week will be “decisive.”
Speaking to hundreds of youths, Yehiyeh Sinwar says that weeks of mass protests will climax on May 14, the day when the US opens its embassy in Jerusalem and when Palestinians mark 70 years of “catastrophe” since the founding of a Jewish state.
He says the protests will be “like a tiger running in all directions.”
Sinwar tells the crowd that Hamas leaders are “ready to die along with tens of thousands” to break an Israeli-Egyptian blockade and realize a dream of seeing the removal of the border and the liberation of Palestine.
