Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh has reportedly urged all Palestinian factions to oppose the recently restarted peace talks between Israel and Palestine with an 'armed resistance'.
Israel, which is reportedly negotiating with Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas, has recently discovered a pair of tunnels from Gaza, which it claimed was aimed at carrying out attacks.
According to Fox News, Haniyeh made the statement on the second anniversary of a prisoner swap with Israel that freed more than a thousand Palestinians in exchange for captive Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit.
