Premier Haneyya: Resistance will never forsake prisoners in Israeli captivity

Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya reiterated that the Palestinian resistance would never forsake the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and would keep working on liberating them by all means.

Premier Haneyya made his remarks during the funeral service of ex-detainee Majdi Hammad, who died of a terminal illness on Wednesday.

“Today with patience and contentedness, we bid farewell to the hero Majdi Hammad, who patiently and firmly spent 20 years in the occupation prisons and gave his life cheaply for Palestine, Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque,” premier Haneyya stated.

He stressed that the resistance is the dignity of the Arab and Muslim nations and would never give up its struggle path.

Hammad was a senior official of Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas and one of the prisoners who were freed in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
