RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Much.
>> Ceasefire in just a few moments. The latest updates right now, I am joined by Osama Hamdan, who‘s a senior member of Hamas. He joins me now from doha in Qatar. Thank you for taking the time thank you let me begin here. We are 10 months into this war. Gaza health ministry officials say that 40,000 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians, have been killed on October 7, Hamas killed hundreds of Israeli civilians. Does Hamas today regret the October 7 terror attacks?
>> Are giving those rights, the right to kill the Palestinians when you ask if we are, if we were free, feel regret for what is right has done. You have to understand that Israel has been killing Palestinians for the last 76 years. And when the Palestinians react against the occupation the Palestinians who failed also agreement continue undermining all the peace process and trying to take over all the Palestinian lands. Talking in public about kicking out 2 million Palestinians from West Bank east Jordan. All this is that a.I. for Israel? The Palestinians, they act against the occupation. They have to regret to what the Israelis are doing, killing them by thousands matter how seen as well. I ever is covers getting I‘ve been, coming to this part of the world for more than 20 years.
>> Covered terror attacks by Hamas that killed Israeli civilians more than 20 years so I‘m asking you this, just looking at the last what, 10 months of this conflict for a moment does Hamas? Except any responsibility for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza? Because as you know Hamas tunnels, Hamas military units are based under and around homes mosques, schools in Gaza and do you accept responsibility for any of the deaths in Gaza?
>> Covered this region for 20 years, but you were watching you was watching the region by the Israeli eyes.
>> Is killing thousands of Palestinians within those 20 years. And 2014 Israeli attack that‘s the and taking more than 4,000 Palestinians you didn‘t see that they attacked Gaza and they killed in one day, 1,000 Palestine and in 2008, and you didn‘t see that those attacks, actually, I was here I was here in 2014. I was here in 2014 and I was hearing 2008. I I‘m I‘m asking you if Hamas accepts I do. If you wanted to, what you‘re saying is factually not true. I was here for both. I was here for both of those conflicts. My question is, does Hamas accept any responsibility for the deaths of its own people in Gaza excuse me, you can‘t ask and answer by your sense?
>> Answer or you can finish that talking by yourselves yourself. If you wish that it‘s okay.
>> And I want to say what I want to say. It‘s not your duty to dictate what I‘m supposed to say. It‘s not your duty to receive the answers you wish to so let‘s see.
>> Accept responsibility for the deaths of civilians in Gaza? That‘s the question will keep watching what is happening by Israeli eyes, listening by the Israeli acting as if you are part of Israeli military attack against the Palestinians. It seems that you support the killing of 40,000 Palestinians.
>> U.S. for anything you are talking about. Palestinians being killed as if they were nothing. And to just saying that the better seen as working let‘s go to West Bank. There is no Hamas, there is no action from Hamas it‘s have killed already 800 Palestinians in the last 10 months. What about this? They are talking about the Palestinians sure.
>> Covered the deaths of Palestinians quite closely you let me ask you a question here because you‘re saying you are well, I‘m going to quote, I‘m going to quote you right now what did it show the women who had been a quote you right now of how to sydney in and Gaza we are talking about 16,000 children who are being killed by the Israelis. And you are asking if there I‘m very aware of I‘m very where are the civilian toll in Gaza and you are not listening and are not allowing me to answer. You don‘t want to listen to the facts. You just want to listen to yourself. It‘s okay. That‘s enough.
