Knesset elections indicates 'Palestinian resistance' victory: Hamas official
Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas spokesman, said Wednesday that the results of the Israeli Knesset elections show a victory for the "Palestinian resistance" after the week-long attack on the Gaza Strip in November.
"Netanyahu gained less votes than in the last election because he failed to confront the Palestinian resistance during the last Gaza war," Abu Zuhri said in a statement.
Abu Zuhri, however, pointed out that the change in the Israeli partisan map will not necessarily influence the current anti-Palestinian attitude in Israel, as Israeli party leaderships share a consensus on this issue.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority (PA), called on Israel to abide by the two-state solution and UN resolutions stipulating the establishment of a Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders.
PA spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said that the next Israeli government has to accept the two-state solution, halt all settlement building activities and recognise the UN General Assembly's decision to grant Palestine non-member observer state status.
