Palestinian leader Khaled Machaal call on the Arab and Islamic leaders to support the Palestinian cause
The chairman of the political bureau of the Palestinian movement “Hamas†Khaled Mechaal has overtly expressed his foursquare refusal to the take part top the Israeli – Palestinian negotiations declaring†We are against these negotiations because they are baseless and do not take into account the Palestinian interests; the negotiations are an Israeli- American game not ours and resistance is our choiceâ€
- The leader has, despite his tight timetable, accepted to give an interview to Echourok over the humanitarian convoy “ lifeline 5”
- Echourok: to start with, how is the moral of our brothers in Gaza?
- Machaal: Undoubtedly our brothers in Gaza are living hard times amid the sanctions, looming threat of war and the sealing off the passages to limit people’s movements. The situation is very tough and unbearable but our families there are persecuted, killed and imprisoned; our people is suffering domestically and abroad but is resilient to resist and fight to retrieve its legitimate rights.
- Echourok: Are the humanitarian aids sufficient and efficient?
- Machaal: Of course, since they reflect the role of the Arab nations and their consciousness and means that there still be Valliant people who abhor colonialism, and despotism. It’s another message for our people that the world stands by him while it denounces the Israeli invasion and shed light on their immoral practices that do not stand anymore.
- Echourok: How can the Algerian people and the rest of the Arab and Islamic nations help the Palestinian cause?
- Machaal: The Algerian people is a dear friend, the one million and a half martyr country is praiseworthy for its glorious past and its unflagging support for the Palestinian cause. The other countries have to support us financially and politically.
