The video shows an interview with Fatah Revolutionary Council member and regular columnist for the official PA daily Muwaffaq Matar on Al-Arabiya TV.
Fatah Revolutionary Council member Muwaffaq Matar: “We think that the masses of our people in the Gaza Strip have paid a very, very heavy price as a result of Hamas’ policy and its subordination to external agendas, and particularly that of Persian [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah] Khamenei and the Iranian-Persian project to restore [their] hegemony over the Arab region… Hamas has never had a source of national authority, rather it is actually the one that established the roots of ISIS-ism in the Arab region. I was in the Gaza Strip 17 years ago when the bloody coup took place… They shouted out over the mosque loudspeakers: ‘Kill them! Kill them and capture their wives!’ This is ISIS-ism.”
