Hamas chief says Trump’s plans for Gaza ‘doomed’

Hamas’ Gaza chief Khalil al-Hayya said on Monday that Donald Trump’s plans for the Gaza Strip were “doomed,” The Guardian writes.

“We will bring them down as we brought down the projects before them,” he said during a commemoration of the 46th anniversary of the Iranian revolution in Tehran.

Hamas has previously said Trump’s plan would “put oil on the fire” in the region.

Hamas has adamantly insisted it wants to remain in Gaza while Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has agreed with Trump’s Gaza takeover proposal, has vowed to destroy the Palestinian militant group and never allow it to again rule the territory.
