Hamas Political Bureau Member and former Minister of the Interior Fathi Hammad urged the people of Jerusalem to â€œcut off the heads of the Jews.â€ His remarks were made in a public address, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas-Gaza) on May 7, 2021. Hammad demonstrated how they should â€œcut their heads offâ€ from the artery. He added that a knife only costs five shekels, saying: â€œwith those five shekels, you will humiliate the Jewish state.â€ Hammad continued to say that Jews have spread corruption and acted with arrogance, and their day or reckoning and moment of destruction have come. In September 2016, Hammad was designated as a terrorist by the U.S. State Department.
