That Is Very Clear

If you go here, you'll see a picture snapped by Mahmoud Hams of AFP/Getty Images at the NYTimes "Lens" blog of a Hamas rally in Gaza with the caption noting that Haniya demands the 'elimination' of Israel.

As Sky News puts it:

Ismail Haniyeh told them Hamas would not be satisfied with Gaza but looks forward to liberating the "whole of Palestine".
Al-Babawa:

"This movement, with the help of the armed factions liberated the Gaza Strip, and we say, brothers and sisters, we will not be satisfied with Gaza," he said. "Hamas looks toward the whole of Palestine, the liberation of the strip is just a step to liberating all of Palestine."

BBC:

"We will never give up on a Palestine from the river to the sea," Mr Haniya said, referring to pre-1948 boundaries of the British Mandate in Palestine, before the state of Israel was established. "It is not enough for Hamas to liberate Gaza... Hamas strives to liberate all of Palestine," he told thousands of cheering supporters.
