Hamas: Our people is represented only by those who protect them

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum has affirmed that the massive participation of citizens in the March of Return protests confirm that the Palestinian people is represented only by those who protect them.

“Our people are only represented by those who carry weapons and guns and sacrifice themselves for their sake and not by those who besiege them, cooperate with their enemy and sign agreements liquidating their rights and constants,” Barhoum said in a brief statement.

The spokesman was alluding to Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, who imposed in recent months several sanctions on the Gaza and accepted parts of the US-backed deal of the century (the ultimate deal), which calls for relinquishing Occupied Jerusalem and exchanging lands with Israel.

A Palestinian teenager was killed and dozens were injured by Israeli gunfire during their participation in the March of Return rallies that was orgnized on the eastern Gaza border on Friday.
