Hamas spokesman Jihad Taha told the Qatari Al Jazeera channel last night, in response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in which he presented a list of preconditions for ending the war, that the terror group will not give up the “weapons of the resistance,” referring to the weapons of Hamas and other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip.
He further states that the group refuses to exile its leadership from the Strip, as they are part of the Palestinian people.
