Bhubaneswar: Hamas Commander Mahmoud al-Zahar has sent out a message where he speaks of his group’s ambitions for global supremacy. More than one minute of video footage featuring the senior Hamas official has gone viral on the internet, in which he asserts that Israel is merely the initial target and that they aim to extend their influence over the entire world.“Israel is only the first target. The entire planet will be under our law,”
“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under a system where there is no injustice, no oppression, and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other countries,” he said.
Hours after the video surfaced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement reaffirming his commitment to continuing the fight against Hamas, saying that every member of the Palestinian group was a ‘dead man.’
“Hamas is Daesh (the Islamic State group), and we will crush them and destroy them as the world has destroyed Daesh,” he said in a brief televised statement.
