Discussion on Hamas and Israeli Politics

We're at war with Hamas, a criminal terrorist organization.

An unequivocal enemy. What, what, what do you say about that?

Do you consider Hamas a terrorist organization?

Even before we became Ra'am, a political party seeking integration and citizenship, we were an Islamic movement.

And since the days of Oslo, Sheikh Abdullah Nimr Darwish, the founder of the Islamic Movement, came out unequivocally in public and political statements, as well as in religious statements in the Islamic context, against the attacks, against acts of terror.

That's true. I knew him too. And we've continued along that path for thirty, forty years.

No one from the Islamic Movement, and later none of the Ra'am members, was investigated on charges of treason, or endangering state security, or expressing support for a terrorist organization, or for an organization hostile to the State of Israel.

So on this issue, you can't keep coming and putting us to this test, the test of loyalty.

The test of upholding the law and people's dignity, of life itself and people's security.

You can't. Now. The State of Israel, the Israeli government finally made the decision that it accepts President Trump's plan.

In fact, this is the plan. I came up with this plan before.

I'm not saying he took it from me. where my vision was that two states would be established here, and that organizations, uh— uh, uh, Hamas and all the organizations, uh— military or armed, would be disbanded and— I believe in this concept of a state.
