Hamas spokesperson Hamdan: ‘Green light’ from US for hospital attack

The Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan has just been speaking to Al Jazeera.

“I believe that this crime will not take place unless there was a green light from the United States. Everyone understands that Blinken spent yesterday night with the [Israeli war] cabinet for more than five hours, and tomorrow everyone is expecting President Biden to visit the region.”

“It’s clear they are preparing the land for something to tell everyone that all the needed steps have been done to evacuate Gaza, which will not take place.”

“I believe that the Palestinians themselves will not leave, and I believe that the Arab countries will not accept that. I have to say that we are watching a war crime, not just from the Israelis, but also from the Americans.”
