Deputy Head of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh said Thursday that his movement would continue to use armed resistance against the Israeli state.
"Hamas negotiates with the enemy with arms, not talks," the senior official said during a press conference commemorating Palestinian Prisoner's Day and the death of Hamas co-founder Abd al-Aziz al-Rantisi.
Al Rantisi was killed by Israeli forces in 2004 along with his 27-year-old son, a body guard, and four bystanders in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas is committed to its principles and visions and prisoners will not be forgotten, Haniyeh added.
His remarks came as Hamas official Khalil al-Haya called for the abduction of Israelis, who could be swapped for Palestinians held by Israel. more
