Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - said that the famine that cast its shadow on all components of Gaza Strip society extended to the prisoners of the Israeli occupation, to the point that the lives of some of them became threatened due to illness and lack of food and medicine.

Abu Ubaida added - during an exclusive speech broadcast by Al Jazeera - that the sick, terrorist mentality of the occupation has gone beyond the ugliness of Nazism to a deliberate war of starvation in which the world is witnessing the killing of parents seeking to provide for their children and the starvation of children and their killing of hunger and disease in the most horrific and unprecedented war crime.

Regarding the rumors of progress or breakthrough in the truce negotiations file, Abu Ubaida said that the occupation government uses deception and evasion in negotiations and is characterized by confusion and confusion, stressing that the resistance’s highest priority for achieving a prisoner exchange is full commitment to completely stopping the aggression and the resulting withdrawal of forces. Occupation, return of displaced persons, and reconstruction.

Abu Ubaida addressed the families of the occupation prisoners in Gaza, saying that if they are concerned about the lives of their relatives, they must know that their government and their war council are manipulating the lives of their children and insisting on “receiving them in coffins,” as he put it, adding, “The ball is in their court to save whoever of them can be saved.”

Double standards

He pointed out in this context that the “American administration’s lamentation” over limited numbers of occupation prisoners and its ignoring of the genocide and Holocaust to which the Palestinian people are subjected, as well as its ignoring of thousands of its prisoners, confirms its double standards and their indifference to human rights or any alleged international law.

Al-Qassam’s spokesman revealed that the occupation was planning its “barbaric” aggression, which it carried out in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem, before the seventh of last October (the Al-Aqsa Flood), basing this on an alleged Biblical legacy that openly calls for the burning of other nations, as he put it.

He added that the Palestinian people, who are facing “an unprecedented Zionist-American aggression in history,” presented the October 7th epic in response to an aggression that has been going on for decades, culminating in the attempt to Judaize and demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque, stressing that this battle establishes a new phase at the world level, the title of which is: “Right can only be taken away by force.”

Regarding the field situation, Abu Ubaida said that the resistance, as it continues to fight for the 154th day, is inflicting heavy losses on the occupation army forces among its officers, soldiers and vehicles, noting that during the last three weeks a large number of qualitative operations have been carried out, trapping the enemy in precise ambushes in combat zones. .

Abu Ubaida called on the sons of the Palestinian people in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Palestine occupied in 1948 to mobilize and march to Al-Aqsa and Rabat there, and not to allow the imposition of facts on the ground. He also called on the sons of the Islamic nation everywhere to declare mobilization and confront the arrogance of the occupation in every arena inside and outside Palestine.
