DOHA: Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal said on Friday that Israel's ground operation in Gaza was destined to fail, in remarks to AFP in the Qatari capital.
"What the occupier Israel failed to achieve through its air and sea raids, it will not be able to achieve with a ground offensive. It is bound to fail," Meshaal said from his exile in Doha.
A Hamas spokesman in Gaza said earlier "Israel will pay a high price" for launching the ground operation and that the Palestinian movement "is ready for the confrontation".
