Hamas’ chief in the Gaza Strip vowed on Wednesday to use military force against Israel if the blockade there continues.

Axar.az informs, speaking to Qatar-based Al-Jazeera TV on Wednesday evening, Yahya al-Senwar stressed that the March of Return -- peaceful Palestinian rallies which have been taking place since March 30 on the borders with Israel -- has put the Palestinian cause on the world’s agenda once again.

"We have recently sent clear messages [to Israel] that we will not hesitate to use military force if the blockade [since 2007] of Gaza continues," he stressed.

Hamas and the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip are trying to keep the marches peaceful, and if circumstances require a military option, that would happen later, he pledged.

"The strategic circumstances surrounding the Palestinian issue are very complicated, especially with the U.S. administration, which fully adopts the Zionist position, and deals with the resistance of our people as terrorism," he added.

He stressed that the march of return "has also achieved many goals, most notably putting the case of the [Gaza] embargo for discussion in international bodies and countries.”
