Excerpt:
"We call on you to stand by the Palestinian people and its legitimate resistance from the political, economic and moral aspects, in order to confront the wild Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including all of its forms of killing, assassinations, arrests, raids and destruction.
"We have no other choice but to note that the Gaza missiles and the limited weapons the Palestinian resistance possesses are aimed at defending our people and our land.
"This weapon is a response to the occupation and aggressiveness. Nevertheless, all the Palestinian resistance factions have expressed their willingness to take the truce issue seriously."
Mashaal went on to express his hope that "the Palestinian people and its legitimate resistance will not be criticized over the events and the escalation which took place…after all the diplomatic efforts, negotiations and attempts to reach an agreement have failed in leading to the end of the occupation, to a cessation in the aggressiveness and to the protection of our children, women and members of our people.
