(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" has considered the U.S. Democratic Party's position on Jerusalem as a "scandal that reveals full bias to the Israeli occupation."
Following the US party's position that claimed "Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel", Hamas issued a statement denouncing the Democratic Party’s new platform language.
The movement stated that this position is a scandal for the U.S. administration and confirms US full bias to the Israeli occupation and its double standards on the Palestinian issue.
The movement insisted that Jerusalem is and will remain the capital city of Palestine, stressing on the Palestinian national constants.
Hamas added that this American biased position to the Israeli occupation represents a blow to those who still wager on the so called “peace negotiations”.
An Obama campaign official said late Wednesday that the change in platform was made to reflect the personal views of Obama, who believes that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and who "personally intervened" to ask for the platform change.
