Hamas Responds for the First Time Welcoming the New York Conference

SadaNews - The Hamas movement stated this Thursday evening that it views with great interest every step that would achieve any positive progress in the Palestinian people's struggle at various levels.

In its first official response to the New York conference concerning the future of the conflict and the two-state solution, Hamas expressed its appreciation for the positive positions announced at the high-level international conference held in New York regarding the Palestinian cause.

It confirmed its welcoming of international efforts and positions aimed at restoring the Palestinian people's rights in their land and homeland, and the establishment of their independent state unconditionally, considering this a fundamental and natural right of our people. Moreover, it stated that the recognition of the State of Palestine with full sovereignty is a fruit of our people's continuous struggle and a manifestation of respect for international law. According to its statement.

It added: The resistance and its weapon are a national and legal entitlement as long as the occupation remains in place, as recognized by international treaties and norms, and they cannot be relinquished except by restoring our full rights and establishing our independent state with complete sovereignty.

It continued: Ending the war of extermination and ethnic cleansing, and then ending the occupation, is the first step in any serious international movement, which necessitates isolating the occupation and prosecuting its leaders as war criminals, rather than embracing them or establishing any agreements or normalization with them and their criminal entity.
