Abu Zuhri: Egyptian statements about “destroying Hamas” very serious

Hamas movement expressed absolute dismay at the statements attributed to Egyptian security and diplomatic figures that Cairo would work on liquidating Hamas movement.

Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, described in a press release on Wednesday such statements as “very serious”.

He added that the statements represented the first official Egyptian admission of involvement in the Palestinian internal affairs and in destroying resistance forces in Gaza.

Abu Zuhri said that destroying resistance was a mere “illusion” and the Arab parties involved in such a scheme should rather mobilize their potentials against the Israeli occupation.

Four Egyptian security officials and two prominent diplomats said that Cairo would cooperate with Fatah faction to destroy Hamas movement in Gaza Strip and would back any chaos in the Gaza Strip.
