Hamas leader calls for national dialogue to devise resistance strategy

TEHRAN, Oct.3 (MNA)-- Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the only way to liberate the holy Qods is holding a national dialogue to adopt a common strategy on resistance and called on the Palestinian groups to adhere to the resistance movement.

“We are committed to our strategy of armed struggle and will not retreat from our stance,” Haniyeh told the international conference on the Palestinian Intifada in Tehran through a video conference on Sunday.

Unity among Arab nations is the only solution for the liberation of occupied Palestinian territories, he said, adding that the Palestinian government is ready to negotiate with any country in the world to restore the rights of the Palestinian people.

Haniyeh also put forward a proposal to establish a committee in support of Palestinian captives who are being held in Israeli prisons.

He went on to say that more than eight thousand Palestinian women are in Israeli jails.

“We will not shirk our responsibilities and will do our best to release them as soon as possible,” he asserted.
