 Hamas decries Trump's terror allegation

Gaza 22 May (ANA)  - Trump's comments linking Hamas to 'terrorism' show his 'complete bias' towards Israel, says the group's spokesman. Hamas Movement has rejected US President Donald Trump's comments linking it to "terrorism" in his speech in Saudi Arabia, saying it shows his "complete bias" towards Israel. "The statement describing Hamas as a terror group is rejected and is a distortion of our image and shows a complete bias to the Zionist occupation," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a statement on Sunday. Barhoum dubbed the speech a "confirmation" that Trump is following the policy of previous US administrations. Trump addressed the leaders of 55 Muslim countries in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and said they must take the lead in combating "radicalisation". "The true toll of ISIS [the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant], al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and so many others, must be counted not only in the number of dead. It must also be counted in generations of vanished dreams," said Trump in the speech.(ANA)
