Sementara Itu Pengerusi Hamas Khaled Meshaal Isytihar Kemenangan
Meshaal: 'It was a despicable aggression'
Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal is speaking in a news conference in Cairo. He says that Hamas has scored a victory after eight days of fighting.
He calls the Israeli assault "a despicable aggression against the people in Gaza" that killed civilians and fighters.
"We had to react," he says, echoing Netanyahu.
"I cannot deny that [Israeli forces] have done a lot," he says. "We can't count how many buildings they have destroyed in Gaza. This is their achievement. And the missiles were falling until the last minute."
"The Israeli conspiracy has failed," he says. "They wanted an election propaganda and they wanted to test Egypt," but fell short, Meshaal says.
Meshaal praises Egypt's role, saying it "has dealt with the resistance quite responsibly and the way it should."--guardian.co.uk
