KHAN YOUNIS (Alresalah.ps) -- Senior leader of Hamas Mahmoud al-Zahhar said
all options are available to confront the Israeli occupation, including
armed and popular resistance and resistance of boycott.

Armed resistance is not a political issue that may be negotiated, said
al-Zahhar in a meeting organized by Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Khan
Younis City on Sunday to commemorate the day Jerusalem was occupied.

"It is neither a controversial, nor a negotiable issue; it is, rather,
dogmatic fundamental cause in struggle with Israel," said al-Zahhar,
referring to armed resistance, pointing out that Israel has long sought to
erase the Palestinian constants, concerning the Palestinian lands, Jerusalem
and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Al-Zahhar stressed that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) refuses a
Palestinian state within the 1967 or 1948 territories, saying "Our policy is
Palestine, all of Palestine". He explained that Palestine as a whole is a
part of the Islamic dogma that is derived from the Holy Qura'an.

Speaking of relations with the Islamic Jihad, al-Zahhar confirmed that both
movements cooperate at political, security, military, and syndicate levels.
Political leaders meet continuously, said al-Zahhar. At military level,
there is a full coordination between Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, added he.

Al-Zahhar expressed his aspirations that both movements would unit,
alongside with other Palestinian parties, to confront the Israeli occupier.
