Hamas: US and Israel alone after Jerusalem decision

Calling for a Palestinian uprising against Israel, Ismail Haniya has said that the US and Israel are now isolated internationally after the US’ decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The leader of Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls Gaza, has called for a Palestinian uprising against Israel, following the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as its capital.

Ismail Haniya made the comments at a mass rally to mark the 30th anniversary of the faction, which was formed in response to Israel’s illegal occupation of West Bank and the Gaza strip.
