Political bureau member of Hamas Mahmoud al-Zahhar has stressed Hamas’s commitment to boost fraternal ties with Egypt calling on the latter to release the four Palestinians kidnapped in Sinai.
Zahhar urged Egypt in an interview with the Hamas-affiliated Change and Reform parliamentary bloc’s newspaper published Wednesday to release the four Palestinians held captive in its territories holding it responsible for their lives.
Zahhar who has been recently elected as chairman of the Hamas parliamentary bloc said efforts by his Movement’s bloc will be exerted in the coming period to strengthen communication with Arab Islamic and international parliaments.
The Hamas leader stated that the sole enemy targeted by the Palestinian resistance is the Israeli occupation.
He also emphasized that Hamas will do whatever it takes to boost unity and cooperation in the blockaded Gaza Strip and the Palestinian society in general.
