Khaled Mashal, chief of Hamas' political bureau, told British network Sky News that the recent increase in terror attacks in Israel was a "spontaneous" reaction by Palestinians.
"The Israeli stubbornness, combined with the international impotence in solving the Palestinian issue with a just solution, which gives the Palestinian people their self-determination, and gets rid of occupation… will lead to chaos in the region, not just in the Palestinian arena, but to an open conflict - a blood-bath," he said.
