Hamas denies claims on pressures to recognize Israel

The Hamas Movement has strongly denounced some media outlets for claiming it was exposed recently to pressures in order to recognize the Israeli occupation state.

In a press release on Wednesday, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum denied such claims and described them as “unfounded lies.”

Barhoum added that everyone knows well the Movement’s position on the issue of recognizing the occupation, calling on the media to be accurate and professional and refrain from spreading such fabricated news intended to discredit Hamas.
