(JNS) – Hamas has no interest in governing Gaza but wants a never-ending war with Israel, members of the terrorist group told The New York Times in a feature piece published on Wednesday.

According to the Hamas leaders, that was one of the primary goals of their Oct. 7 invasion of the northwestern Negev, in which thousands of armed terrorists massacred 1,400 people, mostly civilians, wounded over 5,000 others and took back to Gaza more than 200 hostages.
“I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,” Taher el-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told the U.S.-based newspaper.
Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the terrorist group’s politburo in Qatar, said they planned the Oct. 7 assault to “change the entire equation and not just have a clash,” adding that “we succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm.”
“Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity and such,” said al-Hayya. “Hamas, the Qassam and the resistance woke the world up from its deep sleep and showed that this issue must remain on the table.”
He added: “This battle was not because we wanted fuel or laborers. It did not seek to improve the situation in Gaza. This battle is to completely overthrow the situation.”
Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad told Lebanon’s LBC TV on Oct. 24 that the terror group would continue to carry out massacres like the one it carried out in southern Israel on Oct. 7 until the Jewish state is destroyed.
“Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country because it constitutes a security, military and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation, and must be finished,” said Hamad, according to a translation of the interview provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
“We are not ashamed to say this, with full force,” he added.
Israel’s existence was “illogical,” he said, adding, “The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood and tears.”
“The Al-Aqsa Flood [Hamas’s name for the Oct. 7 mass terror attack] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve and the capabilities to fight,” said Hamad.
“Hamas’s goal is not to run Gaza and to bring it water and electricity….”
for all the dimwitted clowns that are pro-hamas (oops, I mean pro-Pali), Having Israel govern Gaza post war (may it happen quickly!) will allow the “innocent” pali’s to have a normal life.
I am hoping that by the time this story is read, all the men in this picture have already been “eliminated.”
Now enter Obama and his stupid comments. He looks even dumber now. How this guy was president without knowing and understanding the basics of the Middle East is crazy. But he continues to spew
Kill crush destroys Palestinian la or There’s never going to be peace
I am glad that they said it like it is – now hopefully all the rest of the world will read it and understand that Pro-palestine at this point is pro-Hamas = destroying Israel = Anti-Semitism
Why is Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the terrorist group’s politburo in Quatar instead of joining the Hamas fighters?
So why are all Antisemites screaming all over “ceasefire”, their friends don’t want ceasefire
Hamas: We want to kill Jews. The war is never over as long as there are Jews alive. The Nazis are our role models. Leftists for some reason: They’re freedom fighters who want to liberate themselves from the Zionist oppressor.
Of course they want the conflict to go on.It’s extremely lucrative for them,redirecting the billions of the world to themselves,impoverishing 90% of their population to keep them brainwashed and agressive…the veritable motive of the middle east wars is not religion or ideology,but money.
Change the description, please. Jordanian Arabs – there were no, are no, will never be Palestinians, unless you mean Judean Jews under Roman rule.
