Bardawil stressed in a press statement on Thursday ​​that his movement would not give up its resistance option, adding that no one could think to call on the movement to abandon its resistance.

“Our Egyptian brothers respect and appreciate Palestinian resistance because resistance, in all its forms, is the legitimate right, so they did not make or think to make such a request,” he added, pointing out that his movement does not interfere in any state’s internal affairs, neither does it accept external interference in its affairs.

Yediot Ahronot, the Hebrew newspaper has claimed on Thursday ​​that Egypt asked Hamas movement to abandon its armed resistance in order to gain international recognition.
