 We're joined now by Dr Jalan Waba Abdel Majeed, Ambassador Head of Mission of Palestine to Ireland. Dr Abdel Majeed, you're very welcome indeed to Morning Ireland. What do you think of what Hamas did on Saturday morning? First of all, good morning. I really was shocked by, I'm not here actually to criticise, but I really was shocked with all the information that you have mentioned in the last like 10 minutes about how the Israelis suffer and you ignore 2 million Palestinian people who really endured the occupation, oppression, humiliation and violation of international law under the Israeli occupation for more than four decades. Today we're talking about an all-out war that has been declared by the Israeli against the Palestinian people. You ignore those people. I mean 90 children since three days have been attacked and killed. You talk about 15 families all wiped out. You talk about more than 400 people that innocent people that were killed by the latest Israeli aggression against Gaza and we are expecting more. I'm here. I wanted to talk about all these oppression and aggression and occupation and the suffering of the Palestinian people. But I'm asking you, what do you think of what Hamas did on Saturday morning? I mean, let me say something. We have first, before you talk about Hamas and what's going on there, we have to talk about the root causes of the grave situation. Let's just talk about what Hamas did on Saturday morning. That is where we are at today, a five-year-old girl, a three-year-old sister taken along with their mother, an elderly woman with dementia captured, made to cradle a rifle and pose for photographs alongside a masked gunman, a woman in her 60s hiding in a bush for two hours after witnessing a dozen others being gunned down at a bus stop, 250 young people hunted down and shot dead, others taken hostage. What do you think of that? I'm here to talk about my people, my dear. I mean, I'm here to talk about the Palestinian. I'm talking about, I lost two of my cousins. I mean, in a couple of days, leaving like, you know, they are in the mid-twenties, leaving a family with children. I'm talking about hundreds of the Palestinian children who suffer. I'm here to talk about the Palestinian suffering. I'm not here to talking about, I mean, with all, I mean, nobody wanted to see this violence. No one wanted to talk about killings, but at the end of the day, I'm here representing my people. I wanted to talk about the suffering of my people. Do you feel no sympathy? Do you feel no sympathy for the suffering of the Israeli civilians? I mean, what is this question? I mean, what is this question? I feel sympathy about my people. I see the suffering of the people, the Palestinian people who are suffered and endured this occupation for decades, suffering, displacement. I mean, I'm talking about 73,000 of Palestinians that in the last couple of days, they were displaced. They are under severe attack of the Israeli worship from land, I mean, from sea and from air. What do you want to talk about? I'm talking here about those Palestinians who are really under severe oppression. We are talking here and I'm calling. But I'm wondering then I'm asking you, Dr. Abdul Majeed, what will what Hamas did on Saturday morning? What will that achieve for the Palestinian people? Listen, I mean, I mean, for four decades, the oppression of the I mean, the oppression of the Palestinian people, we in the last a few years, we were talking about that this violation of international law and the oppression against the Palestinian people will not will not stay like that. There will be consequences. And we were talking to the international community that this situation should find a just solution. We should find political horizons. The Palestinian lifts without hope. What do you expect from a people that really endured this oppression for decades to do? I mean, there is no protection. All these I mean, when I talk when you talk about about the suffering of the Palestinian people that they don't see any hope for the young generations that they didn't see any any change for decades. What do you expect those people to think about it? I mean, we have a just cause. We have the right to defend ourselves. We have the right to self determinations. We are human being. We're not less human being any other human. But does the actions of Hamas? Does that not further condemn two million plus Palestinians in Gaza specifically to another Israeli onslaught? More death, more injury, more suffering? My God, the same questions that all our representatives and the leadership have been asked this. Tell me, you yourself, those condemnations, those worrying, those concerns for decades, what did change the situation? The situation is deteriorating. The situation is getting complicated. And with the next couple of days, Israel insists to destroy, as Netanyahu said and declared, he will wrap Gaza. He will wipe Gaza. What do you think about the two million Palestinians who live in this high condense and blockade the Gaza strip suffer from blockade for the past 17 years? I'm talking about the two million Palestinians ambassador. I'm asking you what Hamas did on Saturday morning. That hasn't helped them, has it? Listen, I mean, Hamas is part of the Palestinian people. You cannot deny it, whether you accept it or you don't accept it, whether I agree or disagree how Hamas think, but it's part of the Palestinian people. I'm here to represent all the Palestinian people and I'm here to talk about every single Palestinian people. I'm representing the whole Palestinian, whether they support Fatih or whether they support other Palestinian factions. Ambassador, do you condemn what Hamas did at the weekend? Oh, my God. I mean, this question that has been asked all our ambassadors and this morning, I had three or four interviews asking me the same questions. You know how many condemnations all over the world, that the Palestinians heard about condemnations about worrying, these wording doesn't affect what's going on. What is really matter is taking an action, taking an action. I said before, like all civilians are protected in the international law.
