Hamas: Our goal – liberate JerusalemGroup's politburo chief Khaled Mashaal tells Sudan conference ‘our mission is to liberate Jerusalem, purify al-Aqsa Mosque.’ Referring to western threats of cuts in aid to Palestinians, Mashaal says ‘we say to our people: God, Islamic nation are with us. Do not fear poverty, do not fear threats’
by Ali WakedHamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal said that the organization's goal is to liberate Jerusalem.
"Our mission is to liberate Jerusalem and purify the al-Aqsa Mosque. Islam goes forward because its power comes from Allah and it will continue to advance in spite of its opposers," Mashaal said during a conference in support of Hamas organized by Sudanese parties in the capital of Khartoum.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars and large amounts of gold were collected during the conference for Hamas use in protest of calls to boycott a Hamas-led Palestinian government.
It was also announced during the conference that a campaign aimed at raising millions of dollars for Hamas and the PA has been launched.
Mashaal went on to thank Hamas supporters, saying “this support is a message to the West; they will see the Muslims’ support from all over the world and stop the threats and manipulations."
“We are a nation that is willing to starve and die rather than sell out our faith, religion and holy sites,” he added.
