threatened to toppel hamas, it's tool early to jump to any conclusions. >> everyone has watched the relief and everyone in gaza knows that they don't have any real support in gaza. isil is very strange situation and the people everyone knows that you can't say. we think it's there. again, there is a sense of time a terrible propagandaa against anyone who is part of the occupation. and against the whole region. so, they don't have a real situation. we don't want to jump to the conclusions. we have to give our people time and question what happened and what has happened in gaza and
