HAMAS TERROR GROUP slams President Trump’s branding of Hamas as a “terror organization, like ISIS and Al Qaeda”

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said from Gaza City that Trump’s remarks are a “misrepresentation of facts.” He dubbed the speech a “confirmation” that Trump is following the policy of previous administrations.

Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, the US, European Union (EU), and UK, as well as other countries.  Hamas has repeatedly declared that its ultimate goal is to destroy the Jewish State and that it aspires to establish an Islamic state in its stead, while attempting to style itself as a Palestinian national movement.
