Hamas neither wants nor expects another war with Israel

The Hamas terrorist organization which rules the Gaza Strip reportedly says it neither wants nor expects another war with Israel, and that Israel is similarly disinterested in another conflict with the Palestinian group.

“We in Hamas do not initiate wars and we do not expect one, this is our political assessment,” Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas’s deputy leader tells reporters in Gaza according to Reuters.

“We do not expect war because we are not interested and the occupation also say they are not interested,” he says, referring to Israel.

Hayya also says the group is working together with Egypt to secure its borders.

“Securing borders is a joint interest. We are keen and we have the determination and the ability to prevent any harm to reach out for Egypt from Gaza,” he adds.
