In an interview with Al Jazeera:

“Lebanon – where Hizbullah is – has been attacked and its lands occupied, and it is also the enemy of our enemy. Why should we not cooperate with the enemy of our enemy in order to liberate our land? We have a common enemy and one land, so why not cooperate in order to liberate it? I don't just accept this. I think it is our duty to cooperate on all levels, in order to liberate the land and get rid of this cancer on our land.”“Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahar: This Land Is Not Suitable For A Two-State Solution; The Israelis Should Leave – Netanyahu Should Go Live With His Father In The U.S., And Lieberman With His Father In Russia,” Middle East Media Research Institute, May 26, 2021, https://www.memri.org/reports/senior-hamas-official-mahmoud-al-zahar-land-not-suitable-two-state-solution-israelis-should.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
