RAMALLAH -"Israel" recent aggressions on the Gaza and the West Bank is a cover up to the moral fiasco and financial corruption of the Zionist Regime`s rulers and also the result of the Regime`s heavy defeat from the Hizbullah in the 33-day war on Lebanon, Palestinian state Minister, Wasfi Kabaha said on Thursday.
"The Zionist Regime, also by launching limited operations in Gaza and the West bank and by assassinating the Palestinian figures, tries to divert international and regional attention from the moral fiasco and financial corruption of its senior officials and also to compensate for `Israel`s` recent heavy military defeat from Lebanese Hizbollah," said Kabaha in an exclusive interview with al-Alalam TV.
He said Palestinian Resistance Movement (Hamas) will resist any sort of the Zionist Regime`s aggression.
He announced, "As long as Zionists` invasions and attacks on the Palestinian nation continue, Palestinians` rocket launching on the Regime`s territory will continue."
Ezzeddin Qassam Battalions, the military offshoot of Hamas, and some other Palestinian resistance groups, including Fatah, rocketed Jewish settlements in response to the Zionist enemy`s daily strikes on the Palestinians.
The Palestinian figure said that Zionists` recent raid on Jenin and Nablus resulted in martyrdom of a number of Palestinians.
Kabaha called on the world community to react against Zionists` constant aggressions on the Palestinian regions and force the Regime to adhere to truce, thus check its savage acts in the regions.
He said Palestinian National Unity Government, aiming to guarantee Palestinians` national interests, favors continued ceasefire with the Zionist Regime.
The Zionist rulers have threatened to launch extensive offensives on the Palestinian regions if missiles are continued to be fired on the occupied lands from the Palestinian regions.
