In his interview with Al Jazeera, Bassem Naim has also expressed Hamas’s condemnation of the Israeli offensive in the northern part of the West Bank and “unfortunately the silence of the international community towards what’s happening there”, referring to “the continuous killing and the destruction against our refugees in the different refugee camps in the north”.
Asked about what role does Hamas wants to play in terms of the running of Gaza in the future, Naim replied that the group even before the October 7, 2023 attack has stated many times to it was “ready to give up” governing the territory.
