Think of the war against terrorism. In my view, Washington's approach can be compared to a doctor constantly banging away at a tumor instead of removing it surgically.

Whether you call it terrorism or resistance, and whether you like Hamas or not, it is a political entity that no one can ignore.

Using terrorism or jihadists or extremists for any political agenda is immoral.

Before the 11th of September, in my discussions with many officials of the United States, some of them are Congressmen, I used to say that "don't deal with terrorists as playing games." It's a different story. You're going to pay the price if you're not wise in dealing with terrorists.

[ Jihadists] are going to be against you sooner or later.

In Aleppo we had the missile itself, and the material, and the sample from the sand, from the soil, and samples from the blood [of chemical weapons].

We can say, you can win the war only when you restore stability in Syria.
