London, Oct 8 (EFE).- Hamas had the support of Iran to carry out its attack on Saturday against Israel, a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamist group told the British public broadcaster BBC.
Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad told the BBC World Service’s “Newshour” program that they had direct backing from Tehran, which pledged to “support Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem.”
Hamad also maintained that they had received help from other countries, which he did not name, according to the BBC.
According to the British radio station, the spokesperson also stated that the violence occurred in response to attacks by Jewish settlers in Palestinian territory.
“Every day they build settlements, take our lands, kill our people, enter our cities. Through the mediators (the Egyptians, the Qataris or the UN), we told them to stop, but they didn’t listen to anyone,” declared. EFE
