Hamas Political Bureau member Bassem Nayem said the movement takes Israeli Defence Minister Yisrael Katz's threat to assassinate the group's leader seriously, Shehab Wire reported. Nayem stressed that Hamas understands the threat as part of what he termed "black electoral propaganda," though the organization treats such statements with concern.
The Hamas official's comments reflect the group's dual approach to Israeli threats: acknowledging potential danger while dismissing the rhetoric as politically motivated messaging ahead of Israeli elections.
