Hamas chief says Palestinians will ‘never leave Gaza’

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has just begun a televised address, accusing Israel of committing “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

“Our enemy is doing this with the US administration and some European countries,” he said.

“The people of Gaza are staying in their land. They will never leave Gaza or flee,” he added.

“I salute the people of Gaza who are facing the barbaric machine of the Zionist machine. They are committed to their lands.”
