Hamas official in Lebanon vows terror group will continue to rule Gaza

Hamas will not accept a puppet government in the Gaza Strip and will remain in the territory, says the leader of the Palestinian terror group in Lebanon.

“To those who think that Hamas will disappear, Hamas will remain entrenched in the conscience of our people, and no force on Earth can annihilate or marginalize it,” Osama Hamdan tells a news conference.

“Our people will not allow the United States to impose its plans to create an administration that suits it and that suits the occupation [Israel], and our people will not accept a new Vichy government,” he says, making a comparison to Nazi Germany.
