Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassim seems unimpressed by Israel’s elections.
“The ‘state’ of occupation will remain an angry entity and its elections will not give it any legitimacy on Palestine’s land,” he says on Twitter.
“What is happening is a selection between foreign settlers to run a colonial entity based on the usurpation of Palestinian land and the expulsion of its original residents. Our people will continue its struggle until it achieves its goals in extracting its freedom, reclaiming its land and establishing its independent state with Jerusalem as its capital,” he says.
