Hamas official claims it's their 'legal right' to fight against Israeli occupation 

Part of the problem is that these guys seem to think that the rest of us are idiots. .

Hiding in Lebanon instead of dying with his people, what a great man.

So, you hit them? “Yes!” Then why are you crying? “They hit me back! I don’t like it!” If they stop, will you hit them again? “…maybe.”

Using the poor Gazan people as cannon fodders as he hides in another country. What a dishonorable creature

“The more people I meet, the better I like my dog….” - Mark Twain 🤔🙏🏾

He clarifies what he means by a ceasefire is that Israel should stop attacking Hamas while Hamas continues attacking Israel.

"17 years 17 years 17 years" isn't that exactly how long Hamas has been in control of Gaza

Hamas official: "We want ceasefire!" Reporter " So you will stop attacking Israel right?" Hamas Official " I didn't say that." Reporter: So basically you want Israel to agree to a ceasefire so you can attack them without fear or retaliation is that right?" Hamas Offical " YES!"

He doesn’t just say Hamas has a right, he believes Israel should not exist. That’s the problem.

Seems no one wants to talk about october 7th...like it never happened?

That guy can literally play any bad guy on a movie lol.

Hamas logic: 1. We can do bad things because God will forgive us. 2. Others are not allowed to do bad things because it's wrong. Even if we did it to them first.

He took a baby hostage...if thats not the bad side i dont know what is

Hamas don't have any right to be in Israel

He sacrificed his own people, evil man

He says one thing to Western interviewers and spews hate the rest of the time, all while living in luxury in Qatar. I hope the IDF catches this guy.

3:50 do you notice how they cut him off?

Imagine how sick the world is letting the criminal roam freely

Time and again we can see what a terrorist logic is.

In short he says that they are going to continue with their savagery and brutality.

Killing babies, innocent children, women & men is NOT defense

They really think the rest of us are idiots.

So they start a fight. They losing the fight. But they want peace until they decide they want to attack again...

So its clear.., Hamas Leader dont care about Civilian Humanity of the Palestinian People...😢😢

No excuse for what they did to infants babies unborn and children!!!

This man has the heart of a beast, sitting comfortably in a Qatar five star hotel and issuing statements that the gaza civilians are expendable while his minions commit heinous atrocities. Unreal.

The fact that he speaks out of both sides of his mouth, speaks volumes about what he ultimately wants. The fact that he's fine with the results, that it got coverage, is the attitude of a terrorist.

He wants cease fire just not for him. 😅

@surenTokyo for 13 timer siden The History of the imaginary Palestinian state: 1. Before Israel there was a British Mandate, not a Palestinian state 2. Before the British Mandate, it was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 3. Before the Ottoman Empire Was the Islamic State of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state. 4. Before the Islamic State of the Mamluks from Egypt, the Arab-Kurdish Empire was the Ayyubid, not a Palestinian state. 5. Before the Ayyubid Empire was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state. 6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem was the Umayyad and Fatimid empire, not a Palestinian state. 7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, the Byzantine Empire was not a Palestinian state. 8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there were Sassanids, not a Palestinian state. 9. Before the Sassanid Empire was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state. 10. Before the Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 11. Before the Roman Empire it was a Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state. 12. Before the Hasmonean state was the Seleucid, not a Palestinian state. 13. Before the Seleucid Empire was the Empire of Alexander, not a Palestinian state. 14.

In fact, in this plot of land kingdoms fell and fell .. But there was never a Palestinian state or a people. !@## The Palestinians are Arabs and Arabs came from the Arabian Peninsula, they are indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula . It is pure propaganda to claim that Arabs are native to Palestine or that the Palestinians are not Arabs.!

Dead man talking

"I don't have any details about this... we are against killing civilians." Does he REALLY expect us to buy that? Jesus Christ...

When injustice becomes the law then resistance becomes obligatory

The world will be in danger if these guys win.

Seems like a nice hotel room that he is lodging in, while Palestians are used as human shields by his organization. I am pretty sure he will have an argument over the minibar bill with the receptionist.

I’ve been following mid East politics a long time , never would I have imagined people sympathizing with Hamas . . This journalist should have asked him what the Hamas govt has done with the money the eu and the u.s have give them over the years , Gaza would be looking like Dubai if the Palestinian people elected leaders that cared about them and not wanting them to die

Is it so hard to call a psycho lier a psycho lier?

No you have already killed hostages

Wow, I am stunned by how forceful and persistent the interviewer was. Good for him, and good for NBC for their integrity here.

if you protest for the Palestinians you are playing right into Hamas hands

Lol... If they want all the hostages to go home why did they kidnapp them to start with? You don't make a deal with the devil!

Say what you will about the guy, he was pretty honest with the part he said about "if we stop do you want us to return to the miserable life we had before during occupation"

"we are human beings"😅😆 Yeah,but the worst ones.

this guy has 72 hours to live max

"Hamas official claims it's their 'legal right' to fight against Israeli occupation"...so would you tell those Gazans to stop wailing, they are fair game!

- What about October 7th, when it were clearly civilians you have killed? (01:20) - I don't have any details on this...

Hate keeps them poor and ignorant.

The fact give terriost org a platform is crazy

The fact that they tell different things to different audiences.. all in a days worth of lying

This is the same person that says Israel don’t have right to exist and they will continue to do what they are doing.

has anyone considered that the massive dent in the front of that guys head might be affecting his brain and making him crazy?

He is moaning about collective punishment when HE is the one that SHOULD be punished and is HE is the one using human shields

Thank you for questioning this HAMAS leader and thank you for airing it.

Why cut the interview

Hamas and iran brought this upon the people Oct 7th destroyed any chance of a palestinian state

Starting with, “Look, we are human beings…” is reassuring himself knowing they don’t behave as such🙏🇮🇱. He has to tell himself he’s human😏

How can Israel be occupying when Palestine was never a Nation state? Israel gave Palestinians Gaza and then they elected Hamas.... Hamas then started attacking Israel....

Equal rights and justice for all.

BEWARE OF TAQIYYA: What is Takiya in Islam? The word 'al-taqiya' literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical a nd/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be 'dissimulation'.

How do you accidentally murder civilians in an open and “wide area,” as he claims? Makes no sense at all.

The world will be on total threat if a guy like this continue to lead. See? He doesn't want to live side by side with Israel. His eyebrows raised when asked by the journalist and answered that it's their right.

Seeing his face made my stomach twist in anger when he tries to deny what they do. And what to do.

hamas attacks Israel first and now the Israel retaliate you acted like victim

I dont approve of any civilian death. But i cannot get over that The entire muslim world never ever asks Hamas to surrender and save civilian lives? Instead they cheered on the first day. The only people who can complain against israel is people like us and not those who cheered hamas acts

Shocking,still behaving as if they’re-Hamas- is in controll! Pray for Israel,

there is no occupation , the Palestinians didn't have a country before the Jews came and settled the land. they were just a group of people that had settled outside Jordan , there was no head of state , no government , no capital , no nothing. one someone comes and settles the land you cant stomp your feet for a thousand years and claim youre being occupied by invaders. that makes no sense.

He cares not for the "innocent" people of Gaza or he'd call for a cease fire and free the hostages..

This guy hit his head too much in the rat tunnels.

how much family's got hurt from October the 7? probably 400 to 800 maybe more... how much family's got hurt from the occupation? much more than October the 7.

If they want the occupation to end, then they have recognize that Israel is here to stay but Iran and the hardliners won’t allow Israel to exist. It sucks for the Palestinian civilians, it really does, but Hamas has to go. The Theocracy has to go if they refuse to let Israel live in peace. Under no circumstances should we ever allow Israel to fall.

While interviewing this Hamas big shot you should have had a tablet that shows exactly the actions committed, that would refresh his memory to the seconds because it was recorded by the soldiers of Hamas themselves. Verbally going back and forth is just a merry go round.

You cant seriously hold any type of negotiation with belligerence.

Dead man walking

He thinks the world only revolves around him 😂😂😂

This man’s definition of ceasefire: they CEASE FIRING on us.

Mat Bradley journalist. Excellent work

What exactly this Hamas leader saying 😢😢😢😢😢 God bless Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Why NBC reporter don't used this chance to ask Hamas, will you make peace with Israel? Will Hamas agree right to exist and want to live side by side with Israel? Ask what they want. What is their plan. NBC don't know how to professional job.

In Lebanon???? If this guy is a HAMAS Leader , why isn't he in Gaza fighting with his people? Or is it OK for them to die, just not him?

I admire this reporters persistance!

I want to remind him that you are fighting against God Himself when you fight against the Israeli people. 🇺🇸🇮🇱❤🇺🇸🇮🇱❤🇺🇸🇮🇱❤🙏💕

“We are human beings….” While forgetting October 7th. This man.

That's not a legal right.

With al the money they get from europe etc build a country instead of attacking Israel... Maybe than people in Gaza would have a better life..

They mentioned "legal right" by their definition, and no other people should have "legal right" for their action. So Hamas has the "legal right" to attack Israel, but Israel doesn't have the "legal right " to attack Gaza after being attacked. Is he confused, or I am getting to be confused by his understanding. When asked about the casualties and the hostages, he said, i don't have the full details as Hamas leader. WOW!. Again i am confused.

What must it be like to sit down with a complete psychopath like that?

Right on MATT.

Israel gave gaza independence since 2007, they had their own government, gazans voted hamas to rule them...crazy explanations from that guy...nonsense!

I will teach my kid this is what villains look like.

This same official was saying on tv saying that “Israel must end” and that Hamas would teach them a lesson “again and again”. Makes it kind of hard to believe that he did not know about the October 7th attacks prior to them occurring.

The problem is that they think to be always the martyrs of someone.

Israel is not occupying them. They are occupying space that Israel gave them. Tired of the whining. Go make a space for yourself and stop expecting someone else to hand you what you have not earned. Show me ONE THING the Palestinians have contributed to the world. I'm waiting.

If you want them to go home, so why did you deny them to be home then???😂😂😂😂

Good journalism.

Provoking Israel first then now throw all the blame to IDF bcoz many civilians dead in Gaza?... it doesn't makes sense, May all Souls of all civilians rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It is so frustrating listening what this guy says. He just denys the fact that Hammas lkilled civilians. He is an hypocrite...

"Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons" PLO 1977

I pray 🙏 for peace ✌ on all sides 🙏

The innocent people in Gaza deserve to be free

Respect to the interviewer

A big liar, if they were concerned about the civilians of gazans, why didn't they build tunnels for the civilians also. They pretend to fight for gazans, but in the real sense, they are fighting for the hamas.
