Hamas Asks For Broadened Sanctions On Zionist Regime Goods

Tehran, May 1, IRNA – A member of Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas Political Bureau said in Damascus Monday sphere of sanctions against Zionist regime goods, particularly Zionist townships’ products, must be broadened. According to the Palestinian news agency, WAFA, the top Hamas political official member Izzat Rashaq added, “The recent move made by the largest British department store in sanctioning the companies which export the Zionist townships’ products is a new victory for the Palestinian nation.” He added, “We hereby request the entire companies and institute to follow suit of that British firm and join the group of those that have sanctioned the Israeli goods.” The global movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights was initiated by Palestinian civil society in 2005, and is coordinated by the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), established in 2007. BDS is a strategy that allows people of conscience to play an effective role in the Palestinian struggle for justice.
