Speaking at a May 15 “Nakba Day” rally in the Gaza Strip, Hamas political leader Fathi Hammad claimed that the final hours, months and years before the liberation of Palestine have come.

Palestine will be liberated in “no more than a few years,” he said.

He addressed the “Zionist enemy,” saying: “The day of your slaughter, extermination and annihilation has drawn near. ... You should search for a place in Europe, in hell, or in the ocean or the Bermuda Triangle because there is no place for you in [here] or anywhere.”

Hammad’s speech aired on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas/Gaza).

“If Trump’s going to replace appointees like Hegseth, he should do it while he can still get the replacements confirmed in the Senate,” Rep. Thomas Massie stated.
“Yet another example of the U.N.’s institutional bias against Israel,” said the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations.
“Jewish voters want to remain part of the big Democratic tent, but they expect their concerns about rising antisemitism, Israel and the treatment of their community to be taken seriously,” the Jewish Majority said.
“They try to call you ‘hateful’ if you believe that Palestinian kids should get to grow up in the land of their forefathers,” Dr. Abdul El-Sayed said.
