The Deputy Secretary General of Hezbollah, Shaikh Na’eem Kassem, met with a delegation of Hamas leaders on Sunday, including senior Hamas political bureau member Mousa Abu-Marzouk. The two groups discussed ways for the movements to cooperate in protecting Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Arab48.com reported.
Abu-Marzouk took the opportunity to condemn the recent suicide attack in Borj Al-Barajneh, in Beirut’s southern suburbs. While both Hamas and Hezbollah agreed that this was a terrorist attack, they stressed that such attacks serve nobody but the Israeli occupation, which practices all kinds of torture and violations against the Palestinians. Both called for support for the ongoing intifada in order to protect it against the Zionist project.
The Hamas delegation visited Ein Al-Hilwa Refugee Camp in Sidon, South Lebanon and met the representatives of various Palestinian national and Islamic committees and organisations.
According to Abu-Marzouk, the Lebanese laws which prevent the Palestinians from having a decent life, work and inheritance, are a kind of “social injustice”. He stressed the importance of the refugee camps remaining united and stable, and reiterated that the suicide attacks against them are terrorist acts.
The Hamas leader told the refugees that Al-Quds Intifada came to liberate Jerusalem and pave the way for the return of the refugees to their homeland.
