The Hamas terror group denounces the publication of the new Charlie Hebdo issue, and says its release is part of a conspiracy by the anti-Muslim “Zionist lobby.”

“We condemn the latest publication of ‘Charlie Hebdo,’ which has caricatures offending the Prophet Muhammed,” spokesman Fawzi Barhoum says, according to Channel 10.

“The way the Israeli newspapers have dealt with the issue, with the blessing of the US secretary of state, is clear evidence that there is a plot, directed by the Zionist lobby, targeting Muslims, their culture, and the tolerance toward them by Western countries.”

Barhoum says publishing the latest issue is “a dangerous act,” adding that “all these campaigns against Islam, the Muslims, and the Prophet Muhammed must end.”
