His threat, circulated online, made a mockery of calls for a ceasefire in Gaza from dozens of Labour MPs

Britain’s Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis said such calls were “an ­irresponsible stepping stone to yet more Hamas brutality”.

Hamad said: “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country. Does that mean the annihilation of Israel? – Yes, of course.”

The Hamas leader added their legion of thugs are ready to keep repeating October 7 style attacks until there are no Jewish people left in the tiny Middle Eastern state.

“Nobody should blame us for the things we do,” he said. “On October 7, October ten, October one million – everything we do is justified.”

On October 7, Hamas terrorists launched an attack on an Israeli community killing more than 1,400 people and taking at least 240 hostages – including small children.

In retaliation, Israel carried out strikes on Gaza and has now sent troops and tanks into the tiny enclave which is controlled by the fanatical terror group.

Labour boss Sir Keir Starmer came under increasing pressure from his party to call for Israel to cave to Hamas yesterday as 300 councillors backed the move.

It’s understood that two-thirds of the signatories are Muslim who say the policy is “harming communities across the UK”.

The letter said: “The intensified human catastrophe in Gaza impacts us all, and the Labour party’s failure to call for an end to violence is causing hurt in our communities.”

Meanwhile, Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis told London Mayor Sadiq Khan in a meeting that his calls for a ceasefire was the wrong move.

He said: “I also explained to him why I believe that a ceasefire now would be an irresponsible stepping stone to yet more Hamas terrorist brutality.”
