Adnan Dumairi, Fatah Advisory Council: The Muslim Brotherhood Excels At Destroying States And Has Never Built A Single One – Hamas Does Not Believe In The Notion Of A State

Adnan Dumairi, a member of the Fatah Advisory Council, said in a January 19, 2025 appearance on Palestine TV that the reason Hamas only demands "local issues" in any ceasefire talks with Israel is because it does not believe in the "notion of a state."He urged viewers to read about the Muslim Brotherhood in order to understand this. Dumairi said that the Muslim Brotherhood has never established a state in its almost 100 years of existence, while it "excels" at destroying states.

Adnan Dumairi: "Hamas has never reached an agreement or understanding with the occupation that included even a single demand for Palestine. All their demands had to do with local services – like 'increase the aid,' 'lift the siege,' 'supply more cement,' 'supply more iron,' 'We want five or ten kilometers instead of four [for our fishing zone] at sea...' They all had to do with local services. We had all this before the [2007 Hamas] coup.

"Every service they demand and consider to be a basic demand for any [ceasefire] deal – we already had it.

"This is because the leaders of Hamas do not believe in the notion of a state. I am telling you: They do not believe in a state. This is why I told you that anyone that wants to understand this should read about the Muslim Brotherhood. They have never established a state that was a success. From 1928 to this very day – almost a hundred years – they never managed to do that. In three years, the Muslim Brotherhood will be 100 years old. They have not built a single state.

"They have only destroyed states. They excel in destroying states, and have never built one. I dare anyone to show me, throughout the 100 years of their history... They will tell you that there was a conspiracy against them by the West, and other countries. They believe that their failure is a conspiracy, and any success they have – even if it is only in a zakat committee – they will tell you that it is their success, because Allah loves them.

"They will say that anything happening to the enemy, like the floods [sic] in California is a disaster, while anything that happens to us here is a [divine] test. In other words, what is happening in California is [divine] punishment, but what is happening to us here is a [divine] test. This is their logic. Not an ounce of rationality."
