Hamas rules out two-state solution

Tehran, IRNA - Senior Hamas official Khaled Mashal has categorically dismissed Western proposal for pursuing a two-state solution to end the long-run disputes between the Palestinian nation and the Israeli regime.

According to Sama news agency, Mashal stated that the West claims that the battle of October 7 opened a horizon for a political insight; thus, they once again resorted to propagating their old proposal of the two-state solution.

Hamas will not accept the so-called two-state solution and will rule out such proposal, because the solution implies that "we have a promised state and we should recognize the other side, which is the Israeli regime, as a legitimate entity, but this issue is definitely rejected", Mashal argued.

The chief of the External Region of Hamas Political Bureau since early 2021 also said that after Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, which kicked off on October 7, 2023, the hope for the establishment of a Palestinian state stretching from the river to the sea and from the north to the south has been rejuvenated among the majority of the Palestinian people.

The 1967 borders merely cover one-fifth of Palestinian territories, and therefore the Palestinian nation will never accept it, he emphasized.

The Palestinian people are of the consensus that "we will not abandon our legitimate right", which entails territories from the sea to the river and from Ras al-Naqoura to Umm Al-Rashrash or the Gulf of Aqaba; so, that is our right, he said, adding that "we have been residing in this land since ancient times", while the occupying regime has emerged in this territory since 1948.

It is worth mentioning that amid the escalation of the ongoing tension in the Gaza Strip, certain parties in particular Western supporters of the Israeli regime have once again put forward the so-called "two-state solution".
