Amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, a Hamas official indicated that North Korea could consider an attack on the U.S. as part of an alliance with Hamas.
"The leader of North Korea is, perhaps, the only one in the world capable of striking the United States. He is the only one," Baraka said.
"The day may come when North Korea intervenes because it is, after all, part of [our] alliance," he added..
Baraka made these comments last week during an interview with a Lebanese YouTube channel and later reported by the Middle East Research Institute.
"All of America’s enemies in the region are consulting and getting closer, and the day may come when they join the war together, and turn America into a thing of the past."

“Iran does not have weapons that can reach America, but it can strike Israel and the American bases and ships in the region, if the U.S. clearly expands its intervention," he said.
While North Korea has publicly declared its support for Hamas, US-based experts have dismissed the likelihood of a North Korean attack on the U.S. in solidarity with Hamas.
"I don't take these comments very seriously because Kim Jong-Un is not going to risk his own neck to help Hamas," said Maxwell.
