"Because the zionist regime is usurper and illegal, we consider the normalization of relations with Zionists occupation regime as a crime in any way, no matter who does," the statement said.

"Hamas condemns the reports in some press outlets claiming it held a meeting with zionist regime and refutes completely the claims on this issue," it underlined.

Hamas also warned media outlets not to fall into the trap of the Zionist occupation media and not to be influenced by their efforts aiming to get the normalization of the relations with zionist regime endorsed.
