Hamas leader abroad encourages renewal of suicide attacks against Israelis
Head of Hamas Political Bureau Abroad Khaled Mashaal: "What is required today in the West Bank, the 1948 territories (i.e., Israel), and the diaspora [is] an escalation of this struggle (i.e., the 2023 Gaza war). In the West Bank we have already seen a successful start, a few Martyrdom-seeking operations (i.e., suicide attacks). We want a return to the Martyrdom-seeking operations. The situation requires an open struggle. They [the Israelis] are waging an open struggle against us... We have unleashed all forms of resistance, and foremost among them the Martyrdom-seeking operations."
