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).

The protest coincided with the anti-Israel film’s screening and featured excerpts from “October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre.”
“The friendship between the Moroccan and Jewish peoples has deep roots and a rich history,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
“Any use of force” from Lebanese territory against Israeli civilians or soldiers will be met with a “decisive response,” the statement warned.
The database “was established solely to persecute the Jewish state, with no equivalent anywhere else in the world,” Jerusalem’s mission to the world body in Geneva said.
