The leader of Hamas called on Muslim states to back their ‘resistance’

Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, urged Muslim countries on Tuesday to supply Palestinian fighters with arms amidst the ongoing conflict with Israel in the Gaza Strip.

He stated, “We see countries of the world pouring weapons into the occupation (Israel)… The time has come (for Muslim states) to support the resistance with weapons, because this is… not the battle of the Palestinian people alone,” during a speech in Doha.
