Hamas Leader Khaled Mashal Claims Victory in Gaza War
[MEMRI] Hamas leader Khaled Mashal told Al-Quds TV on Wednesday: "Our people and our nation have emerged victorious....Ultimately, after three weeks, [Israel] was forced to declare a unilateral cease-fire and withdrawal, without any agreement or terms that bind or limit the resistance." "The Gaza war is a turning point in the struggle with the Zionist enemy. With its significance, its accomplishments, its timing, and its greatness, it serves as a cornerstone for an effective and serious strategy for liberation, which begins in Palestine, and will continue everywhere, with the support of the nation." "We want a Palestinian reconciliation. But after the lesson of Gaza, what will be the basis for the reconciliation? We want it to be based on the resistance, and on adherence to our national rights, and not on these futile negotiations, or on concessions."
