Hamas decries Trump's terror allegation
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.

Trump addressed the leaders of 55 Muslim countries in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and said they must take the lead in combating "radicalisation".
