Al-Zahar said that his movement has participated in the parliamentarian elections as a "necessity" to change the reality and make reforms.

"HAMAS did not accept the international quartet's demands to give up its principles and objectives," he said, adding that this was a sign of “success.”

 The movement's actions, he explained, had ensured that Gaza and the West Bank remained part of one state and were not separated.

"HAMAS' history is full of achievements and successes," he said, noting that “it did not fail.”
