Hamas Won’t Recognize Israel, Haniyeh Says
- Share via
Hamas will not recognize Israel or give in to international pressure that has crippled the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority government, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh told tens of thousands of supporters at a rally in the Gaza Strip.
Haniyeh’s fiery speech was interrupted when he fainted onstage. He resumed his speech after a few minutes.
He said his best offer to Israel was a temporary truce in return for establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with its capital in Jerusalem, over which Israel claims complete sovereignty.
