"[On the issue of considering Corbyn a "friend" of Hamas] In order to be careful. I don't want this word to be used against him. [...] But we expect him to translate what he said before into actions - to move from words to deeds. We expect Mr Corbyn and Britain to change the policy and to understand that the struggle of the Palestinian people against the occupation is fair. And that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation. This can prove that he really can be a good friend for the Palestinians."
