Head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar (Al Jazeera)
His Excellency Mr. Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Al-Sanwar - Head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip
May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you
More than two months ago, I sent an open letter - through this platform - to the Commander-in-Chief of the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, in which I mentioned that the world has been standing on one leg for forty days, and here we are at the gates of the fifth month and the world has not yet caught its breath. In my previous letter, I inquired about Rafik Darbek in his capacity as a military commander, but I did not receive an answer, and I understand that due to the unprecedented security conditions that the Strip is experiencing. Therefore, I address you, Mr. President, in your capacity as a political leader and the primary person responsible for the resistance movement in the steadfast Gaza Strip. News has circulated from Enemies, adversaries, and brothers, that you were the one who made the decision to attack the State of Israel, which firmly believes that you are the architect of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, so it placed you at the top of its wanted list, and no one else can provide a convincing answer to the inquiries and questions that have spread to millions of followers. For this war in this world.
For God’s sake, have you thought about the weak-hearted people on this planet? Do you know that there are those among us who have not yet believed that you were the one who did it, and among us are those who firmly believe that you have fallen into a Persian-Iranian trap?
Mr. President..
120 days ago, on the morning of October 7, you shocked the world. It appears that one of the elements of your brigades’ “cyber unit” had tampered with the world’s settings. What is worse is that you tampered - with premeditation and deliberation - with the most powerful “state” in the Middle East, and even made it a laughing stock in front of the world. . In short, you have delivered a “strong shock” to this world without taking into account the psychology of its inhabitants. You said to your colleague Muhammad Al-Dhaif: Are you tempted, Abu Khaled?!
For God's sake, have you thought about the weak-hearted people on this planet? Do you know that there are those among us who have not yet believed that you did it, and among us are those who firmly believe that you fell into a Persian-Iranian trap? Indeed, among us are those who believe that "Israel" was the one who allowed... You have stormed the smart iron wall, and that you participated in a conspiracy aimed at a new “catastrophe” in Gaza. Have you thought about the ruling elites in the Arab countries whom you embarrassed with that great achievement and the rapid and dangerous attack? And here we are living on our nerves and following the repercussions of that decision. Do we find convincing answers from you? On some of our burning questions, Sir Abu Ibrahim Al-Sanwar?
How did you strike this “strike of the century” in light of the current balance of power and the international and regional circumstances? Why did you ignore the conviction of those who preceded you in the Palestine Liberation Organization, when they put weapons aside because they were useless and believed in realism, progress, and peaceful solutions, which is the same conviction that the Land of the Canaan, the Encirclement States, and most of the regimes preceded them to? The belief has been firmly established that there is “a vast gap between available capabilities and strategic goals.” There is no room for throwing “Israel” into the sea while behind it is a superpower sponsor called the United States of America, and is supported by all European countries that have a long history of war crimes and genocide, not to mention “ Betrayal by some brothers and disappointment by some Arab and Islamic regimes. Can all of these circumstances bear such a huge, sudden, offensive operation?!
I saw your letter to your colleagues in the Political Bureau, in which you stated that “the Qassam Brigades have destroyed the Israeli army, and are on the path to destroying it.” You have not destroyed the image of the strongest army in the Middle East, but rather you have truly made it a laughingstock before the world.
Mr. President..
Did you not expect this shocking and horrific attack to arouse the madness of the caring and caring mother? Didn't you know that spoiled "Israel" has a strong "warrior mother" with a criminal record and suffering from symptoms of "violent love" towards her only intelligent daughter? Hasn't psychology revealed to you the characteristics of this violent mother who feels a great responsibility towards her daughter, and believes that protecting her is her duty, and that she may fiercely attack anyone who tries to harm her daughter? This aggressive mother may even feel that using “excessive force” is the only way she can fulfill her duty? Did you expect the American President to personally attend the War Cabinet to say to your enemy, “You are not alone”? Indeed, did you think that America would send the giant “Marvel of the Seas” “Gerald Ford” as the largest aircraft carrier on Earth and the most lethal and advanced in the world, while the allied European countries filled the land of Gaza with soldiers, mercenaries and ammunition, and also filled its skies with various swarms of war intelligence marches, Did you really expect all these barbaric and hysterical responses after that particular lightning strike?
I saw your letter that you addressed to your colleagues in the Political Bureau, in which you stated that “the Al-Qassam Brigades have destroyed the Israeli army, and are on the path to destroying it.” You have not destroyed the image of the strongest army in the Middle East, but rather you have truly made it a laughingstock before the world, and in addition to destroying "Merkava" tanks (the pride of the Israeli military industry). The mental image that "Israel" had established in world public opinion was destroyed. It also destroyed the psyche of "the Israeli interior", and it began to suffer from intractable psychological conditions from its political elite to its intelligence institutions, passing through its military brigades. The world saw that invincible army attacking the walls, besieging empty pits, and firing heavily at the ghosts. It even fired friendly fire at its colleagues and its vehicles, and even its prisoners who fled to him to rescue them. He killed them with unparalleled courage, and appeared as a mad army fighting ghosts in the air. At large, it had no clear targets except the civilian population, displaced people, medics, nurses, and journalists.
It only bullies the sick, the prisoners, the wounded, and the dead. The cowardly army is not proficient in fighting cavalry, nor is it adept at confronting the mujahideen of the Al-Quds Brigades and the Al-Qassam Brigades.
Mr. President..
I know that you were born in the Khan Yunis camp, which is now witnessing fierce battles with the defeated enemy army, and I know that in your childhood you were a fan of the game “Arabs and Jews,” in which the results of the battles were almost decided in favor of the “group” of Arabs. Did that game grow with you, so did you implement it on The ground of reality, far from “realism” and the current balance of power? Are we reassured that it was a well-thought-out “adventure” by the Palestinian resistance, despite the barbarism of the fascist Jewish gang devoid of human feelings, and all the consequences of this Nazi-Zionist war and the brutal crimes and massacres it committed with America’s help?
Allow me, Mr. President, to admit to you that I am among the millions who are following this holy war. We have placed our hands on our hearts as a result of what we heard in the news and the careful tracking of the effects. All American states and European countries competed to send intelligence missions, and indeed our hearts reached our throats when we saw your phone number on... The United Nations and international forums, especially when your demolished house and your destroyed office were besieged, and you were sitting in your chair after the discovery of strategic tunnels. In fact, your shoes appeared live on the Israeli channel, not to mention the discovery of a recent picture of your companion Abu Khaled in the Islamic Resistance.
Finally, Mr. President...
In the year 1969, when I was a seven-year-old child, America was mired in the Vietnam War, and after it was exhausted by the war, US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger issued a statement in which he said, “We fought a military war, and our opponents fought a political battle.” He concluded the golden rule that reveals who wins, saying: The guerrilla war wins if it does not lose, and the traditional army loses if it does not win.” And as long as Netanyahu’s declared goals have not been achieved, congratulations to you, Mr. President.
