Haniyeh: There will be no Palestinian state in Gaza and no state without it

The head of the deposed Palestinian government, Ismail Haniyeh, asserted on Monday that “there will be no Palestinian state in Gaza and there will be no state without Gaza…that has been freed by the resistance.”

In a speech at the Islamic University in Gaza he said, “Gaza is a beloved part of Palestine , and its administration is an integral part of the Palestinian political system.”

“We want one land, one people, one leadership, one government and one authority, and we want to put an end to the political division,” he added.

“We have a right, and Heaven’s Justice is on our side, we are only asking for our rights and we fight in order to restore our rights in Jerusalem and the occupied territories.”
