The Hamas Movement has affirmed that the recent press remarks that were
attributed to head of its international relations office Mousa Abu Marzouk
have been inaccurate and taken out of context.

In a statement on Monday, Hamas explained that the interview conducted with
Abu Marzouk and published by the New York Times newspaper several days ago
did not contain the full content of the answers and his exact remarks were
quoted out of context.

Hamas stressed that the published interview did not contain the true
remarks made by Abu Marzouk and did not convey the true meaning of what he
had said.

According to Hamas, Abu Marzouq confirmed that the blessed October 7th
operation reflected the Palestinian people’s right to resistance and their
rejection of Israel’s siege, occupation and settlement expansion.

Abu Marzouk also emphasized that the criminal Israeli occupation had
committed appalling war crimes and genocide against the Palestinians in
Gaza.

Abu Marzouk told the New York Times that Hamas would not give up its
positions and its people’s right to use all forms of resistance, including
armed resistance, to fight the Israeli occupation and liberate their
Palestinian land.

“The resistance weapon belongs to our people and its purpose is to protect
our people and our holy sites, so it is not permissible to drop or
surrender it as long as the [Israeli] occupation exists on our land,” the
Hamas official told the newspaper.
