Hamas condemns Australia's decision to blacklist Palestinian resistance movement
Hamas spokesman, Hazem Qassem, condemns Australia's decision to list the movement as a "terrorist" organization and calls on the Australian government to present an apology to the Palestinian people.
“The planned move attests to the biased support for the occupying regime, and emboldens Israel to press ahead with its aggression against Palestinian people,” Qassem said.
He added, “Australia's step is in contravention of all international principles and charters, which demand protection of the rights of Palestinians in the face of occupiers. Hamas is a national liberation movement that is fighting the occupier [Israel] in accordance with international law.”
Australia said Thursday it would list the whole of Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas as a terrorist organisation, the latest Western nation to do so.
