Hamas: We Will Not Give Up An Inch Of Palestine

Hamas: We Will Not Give Up An Inch Of Palestine

05/06/2012

GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas has asserted that it would not surrender one inch of historical Palestine regardless of the lapse of time.

In a statement on Tuesday on the 45th anniversary of the Israeli war on three Arab countries that ended with the occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and other Arab land, Hamas said that the Palestinian people are the sole owners of the entire land of Palestine.

It said that resistance would remain an unwavering option for the Palestinians to restore usurped land and rights.

Hamas said that the anniversary is a painful one as the remaining land of Palestine fell under Israeli occupation including the holy Aqsa mosque.

The movement said that the Arab region was restoring its consciousness thanks to Palestinian sacrifices.

Hamas warned that Jerusalem was passing through its most serious stage and was threatened with Judaization.

It said that the right of return for Palestinian refugees to their homeland from where they were evicted at gunpoint was inalienable and none was authorized to surrender this right.

Hamas underlined that Palestinian unity was an important step toward liberation and restoration of rights.
