Hamas to fight on despite Gaza ‘holocaust’: Meshaal

Hamas political chief Khaled Meshaal has vowed to continue fighting Israel until the self-proclaimed Jewish state meets Palestinian conditions for a permanent ceasefire, especially the lifting of a seven-year-long blockade on the Gaza Strip.

In an exclusive interview with Anadolu Agency on Thursday, Meshaal accused Israel of perpetrating a "holocaust" in the embattled Gaza Strip.

"We are determined to realise the demands of the Palestinian people, especially lifting the siege and securing the release of [Palestinian] detainees," Meshaal said.
