Mishaal: Qeiq’s victory a milestone in the Palestinian people’s struggle

Head of Hamas’s political bureau Khaled Mishaal has phoned prisoner Mohamed al-Qeiq and his family, and congratulated them on the victory he had achieved against his jailers after 94 days of hunger strike.

Mishaal also delivered a speech over the phone during a ceremony held on Friday in Dura town in al-Khalil to celebrate the deal reached for the release of journalist Qeiq. Mishaal hailed what he described as “the legendary and historic steadfastness of Qeiq”, and called his victory against the occupation “a triumph for the Palestinian people in general and the prisoners in particular.”

He stressed that such victory is “an important milestone in the Palestinian people’s struggle for liberation and return.”
