A Hamas official said New York Times Last week, he would not have supported Hamas' destruction and devastation in Gaza on October 7, 2023, if he had known the outcome.
The era It has been reported Monday:
In an interview with the New York Times, Humas's diplomatic director, Musa Abu Malzuk, said that Havok would not support the attack if he had known that he would be caught in Gaza. Knowing the outcome, he said, would have made it “impossible” for him to support the attack.
…
Abu Marzuk said Hamas' survival in the war with Israel was “a kind of victory.” He also likened Hamas to the average person fighting former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. If an untrained beginner survives Mr Tyson's punch, people will say he won.
Absolutely, he said it was “unacceptable” to assert Hamas won.
The era of Israel It's attracting attention Hamas quickly denied Abu Marzuk's comments. Still, his candidness suggests he understands the group has been defeated.
Abu Marzuk frequently appears in Western media and presents a more gentle face as part of Hamas's public relations strategy. It is not clear whether his statement is an effort to ease pressure on Hamas, or whether he is taking a truly different line from the entire terrorist organization.
