We urge you to understand the Palestinian reality, and not to rush in and impose conditions and demands that ignore this reality and increase the suffering of the people.

The Hamas movement will lead Intifada after Intifada until we liberate Palestine – all of Palestine, Allah willing.

We don't have a state, neither in Gaza nor in the West Bank. Gaza is under siege and the West Bank is occupied. What we have in the Gaza Strip is not a state, but rather a regime of an elected government. A Palestinian state will not be created at this time except in the territories of 1967.

The liberals and free people of the world will not like to see the Palestinian people living under siege. We have received indications from the international community that they will not stop their aid.

When the Israeli leaders launched their expansionist war in June 1967 they never envisaged that 40 years later they would still be haunted by the consequences.

Today three-quarters of the Palestinian people are displaced: there are 5 million Palestinian refugees throughout the world.

I know that many in Europe are unhappy with their governments' policies toward the Palestinians.
