Footage from Al-Aqsa TV, January 6, 2012:
Ismail Haniya: [We say] to the monstrous entity on the land of Palestine: As long as the people in Tunisia, in Sfax, say: "The people wants the liberation of Palestine," we say to Israel: "Dark days await you, Allah willing." Dark days await the Zionist entity.
Brothers and sisters, we were told [during the Gaza War] that if we wanted the war to stop and the siege to be lifted, and if we wanted the red carpet to be rolled out, so that we could reach the White House and other places, we would have to recognize Israel, to curse the resistance, and to release [Gilad] Shalit. We said, from the very heart of the siege, from under the ruins, from the places being bombarded by the F-16 planes… We said then, and I say to you now, in the capital of south Tunisia: We will never ever recognize Israel.

Friday sermon at Kahrouan, Al-Aqsa TV, January 10, 2012:
Dear brothers, we view your support as support for Palestine. We consider your power to be in the service of Palestine…
Crowd member: Palestine in its entirety.
Ismail Haniya: Your honor is the honor of Palestine – Palestine from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River.
[…]
The land of Palestine, oh brothers and sisters, is an Islamic waqf, as decreed by the second caliph, Omar ibn Al-Khattab. We shall not relinquish the Islamic waqf on the land of Palestine, and Jerusalem shall not be divided into Western and Eastern Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a single united [city], and Palestine stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, and from Naqoura [Rosh Ha-Niqra] to Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat] in the south.
