Dubai official: Hamas can go to hell

"Ismail Haniyeh, when you are hostile to Saudi Arabia and open your arms to Iran, who do you think you are? Go to Iran and let them help you. Go to hell!" says Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, deputy chief of the Dubai police.

A high ranking official in the Dubai police department said on Tuesday that the UAE's newly brokered peace deal with Israel was a positive step for "for regional stability and security" and that Hamas can "go to hell."

"Israel never threatened us. [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan has. Iran is threatening us," Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, deputy chief of the Dubai police, told Kuwaiti media outlet Diwan al-Mullah.

"The Turkish leader's claims that he was the champion of the Palestinians is a sham," he continued.

Tamim also questioned why it was necessary for a government to receive approval from the Palestinians before signing a peace treaty with Israel.

"Is it conceivable that the decision of heads of state whether or not to sign an agreement with a certain country depends on the approval [of the head of the Palestinian Authority] Mahmoud Abbas?" Tamim asked during the interview.

Is it conceivable that a president or a Prime Minister is basing his [decision] on the advice of [Palestinian Authority President] Mahmoud Abbas? Abbas himself is unable to make a decision to resolve the [Palestinian] problem," he continued.

"If Abbas had been a worthy leader, he would have solved the Palestinian problem or would have already resigned. How can we expect public opinion in the Gulf states to favor the Palestinians when they pray in their mosques for the destruction of ... countries?"

"Ismail Haniyeh, when you are hostile to Saudi Arabia and open your arms to Iran, who do you think you are? Go to Iran and let them help you. Go to hell!" he said, addressing directly the leader of the terrorist group Hamas.

According to the lieutenant, Iran has three choices: it can die economically, or it can sign a peace agreement with Israel and coexist with the region.

"The third option is the fall of the mullahs' regime," he concluded.
