Ismail Haneyya, Deputy Chairman of Hamas Political Bureau, said the Cairo Court ruling to designate Hamas a terrorist organization runs contrary to the Egyptian constants which perceive resistance as national liberation movements. He disclosed that contacts are being made to modify what he called the “historical deviation”.

This came during Haneyya’s speech at the funeral of one of Hamas founders Sheikh Hammad Hasanat at noon Tuesday. Hanneyya mentioned the virtues of Sheikh Hasanat and his long history of serving the Islamic Dawa and Hamas Movement over the past years.

Hanneyya highlighted the fact that Sheikh Hasanat received his education at the Egyptian universities, pointing to the good relations between Egypt and the Gazan people for a long time.

“We cannot even imagine such a ruling to come out of an Egyptian court. It is contrary to the Egyptian constants. We are addressing that with much patience and wisdom. Contacts are ongoing to fix such a historical deviation”, he said.
