The interior minister of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Fathi Hamad, announced
Wednesday that the Gaza government is considering creating a ministry of
defence to aid in the development of the military skills of the Palestinian
resistance against its "merciless" enemy Israel.

In a ceremony to honour police officers who incurred injuries during
hostilities with Israel, Hamad expressed that the Israeli government is
"remarkably stupid and extravagant" and hence the Palestinian army must
always be ready to counteract its sudden and foolish actions.

Hamad added a plea to Arab and Muslim countries to "support Palestinians in
their resistance by supplying money and weapons," rather than wasting time
on "Arab tears" for Gaza or endless debates that go nowhere about the
Palestinian conflict on satellite channels.

Hamad remarked that Arab money is "God's money" rather than any specific
nation's wealth.

Hamad also called for boycotting American and Israeli products.

Hamad applauded Egypt's recent role as mediator, which helped set in motion
the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. He said that all Palestinians —
inside and outside of Palestine — are "grateful to President Mohamed Morsi
and pray for his success."
