HAMAS opposes interference of the foreign forces in affairs of the Middle East countries, Head of Palestinian HAMAS Movement's political bureau Khaled Mashaal said at the opening ceremony of the International Conference of Palestinian Intifada, Press TV reported.
Mashaal said until the U.S. and European Union interfere in Palestine's problems, the Palestinian state will not be established.
He further noted that the key question for Muslim countries is how to liberate the Palestinian lands.
Mashaal called on all Palestinian authorities to resist the pressure by the European Union and US on this matter.
"All Arab countries should realize that there is no choice except the resistance," he said.
Democracy is a best way to manage the situation, Mashaal added.
HAMAS leader further accused Israel of "thousand violations and crimes against Palestinians".
Earlier, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatolla Ali Khamenei called for holding a referendum on establishing Palestinian state and urged the US to recognize Palestinians' right for an independent state.
