Hamas urges Gazans to 'remain peaceful' during border protests

The Hamas terrorist group urges Gazans to “remain peaceful” during the protests at the border with Israel, beginning on Friday.

“Hamas calls for all the Palestinians to effectively take part in the Great March of Return and remain peaceful to achieve the objective of this event,” it says in a statement.

“Hamas praises the resistance of the Palestinian people in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, occupied Palestine, and diaspora,” the statement says. “It appreciates their sacrifices for the sake of adhering to their rights, maintaining their identity, sticking to their land, resisting all attempts to wipe them out, and rejecting all forms of normalization.”
