The jazeera journalist asks him how come you don't build tunnels for Palestinian civilians and he deflected it into 75% of Gaza are refugees, it's the UN's job to protect them and also Israel according to the Geneva convention (which is true an occupier still has duties) . My fucking God. r/worldnews went nuts with titles like "Hamas says not it's job to protect civilians" "Hamas leader says tunnels for militants only".
I think he doesn't understand the Western narrative that they put children in line of fire on purpose, and are otherwise living normal lives in a singapore-like country that attacks Israel for no reason / because they just hate the jews.
Qatar is an ally of Hamas for god's sake and it owns al jazeera, how do you bomb an interview with them? What a dumb mfer. I can't believe these guys are the last significant armed faction and Pals are stuck with them.
My impression is that there was a recent split/schism/purge within Hamas. Obviously, the people who held on to power within Hamas are too busy trying to win a war than give interviews to Al Jazeera. This dude is apparently not even in Palestine. Honestly, it calls into question the loyalty of these Hamas splitters such as this, who was the former head of Hamas until he got pushed out/kicked out/purged.
