The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas condemned in the strongest terms the British Crown Prince’s projected participation in an Israeli celebration marking the 70th anniversary of the establishment of Israeli occupation entity.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said: “By taking part in the Israeli event Prince Charles turns a blind eye to the displacement and deportation of the Palestinian people along with the heinous massacres perpetrated by Zionist gangs in 1948 and which were primarily green-lighted by the British government.”
“His participation will be a sign of Britain’s continuous complicity with the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people” the statement read. “The participation will certainly give the Israelis green light to continue its crimes and massacres against the Palestinian people land and holy sites.”
Hamas called on the Crown Prince to cancel his participation in order not to cause more pain to the people of Palestine and backtrack on the notorious Balfour Declaration which led to the Nakba.
The movement also called upon the people of Britain to reject the visit pressure the Prince to rescind his decision and to speak up for the oppressed Palestinian people.
