A senior Hamas official in Beirut responds to criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza from US President Joe Biden, saying that “the resistance and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people have made Biden understand that the Israeli military operation is a crazy act.”
“The repercussions [of the war] will be catastrophic on the entity [Israel] and on the results of elections in which Biden might lose his seat in the White House,” Osama Hamdan, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, says during a news conference.
