'Resistance is Hamas's holy mission': Terror spox. tells Piers Morgan group will continue fighting

Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad avoided committing to disarmament, saying the group had accepted the Gaza agreement out of necessity but would not change its mentality or goals.

Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad maintained that the terror group's objective remains unchanged despite a recent deal, stating that "resisting the occupation is its holy mission." When questioned about the deal brokered by the U.S., Hamad acknowledged its exceptional nature due to the dire circumstances in Gaza and said that Hamas would continue fighting against the occupation until achieving freedom.

However, he did not provide a specific timeline for Hamas's disarmament efforts. Hamad also blamed Israel for its aggressive actions in the Middle East and denied accusations of Hamas being a terrorist organization, insisting that they only resist occupation and never target civilians.
