Israel's insistence on being recognized as a Jewish state conspires against Palestinian refugees, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said in a televised address Friday, according to a Saturday Ma'an news agency report.
Speaking at a mass wedding organized by Hamas in Damascus for more than 700 couples Mashaal warned that family is the central compound of Palestinian society and the "occupation (Israel) fears the coming generation. They fear our people in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank as well as Palestinian territories occupied in 1948."
