Senior Hamas Official Says Palestinian Group Believes in Victory

 The Palestinian movement Hamas cannot be destroyed and is confident that it will ultimately win, Basem Naim, a senior member of Hamas’s political bureau, said on Friday.

“Hamas is a liberation movement led by people seeking freedom and dignity, and this cannot be destroyed,” he said in a statement quoted by Press TV.

Naim spoke after the Israel Defense Forces announced on Thursday the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

“It is very painful and distressing to lose beloved people, especially extraordinary leaders like ours, but what we are sure of is that we are; this is the outcome for all people who fought for their liberty,” Naim said.
