Hamas gave Israel every opportunity to impose wars on Gaza, Mahmoud Habash

Mahmoud Habash, adviser to the Palestinian president, has said that along with Israel, Hamas is also responsible for the situation in Rafah.

Speaking to Al Arabiya TV in Ramallah, Mahmoud Habash said that Hamas provided Israel with all the opportunities and reasons to impose wars on the Gaza Strip.

He said that the people of Gaza are being held hostage by Hamas.

The adviser to the Palestinian president said that the people of Gaza are forced to pay a heavy price for the foolish adventures of Hamas. Hamas is more concerned about its own survival than the prisoners.

Mahmoud Habash said that Israel does not want to eradicate Hamas.

He said that he does not understand how Hamas is claiming to be ready for the Rafah operation after the complete destruction of Gaza.
