The head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Ismail Haniyeh, in a speech broadcast on Al Jazeera, called on all parties to take the initiative to break what he called the starvation conspiracy in Gaza, warning the occupation against attacking Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Haniyeh said that it is the duty of the Arab and Islamic nations to take the initiative to “break the starvation conspiracy” in the northern Gaza Strip.
He added, "It is not permissible for the people of Gaza to watch their nation while hunger is crushing them and taking away the land from their livers," stressing the need to reach sustainable aid bridges that protect Gaza from the clutches of the starvation conspiracy.
Haniyeh stressed that the Israeli occupation is committing the most horrific crimes of murder, extermination and displacement that humanity has ever witnessed in Gaza, and that its army “represents one of the lowest armies that humanity has known in its history,” but for months it was helpless in the face of the Palestinian resistance men in the field in Gaza, and it only succeeded in killing children. Women and the elderly.
In the same context, Haniyeh warned Israel against carrying out a ground military operation in Rafah, threatening it that the Palestinian resistance in the field would confront it, and called on the world - especially the Arab countries - to confront this enemy and restrain it to discourage it from invading Rafah.
The head of the Hamas political bureau also warned Israel and the United States of America that “what they were unable to impose on the field will not be taken over by the machinations of politics.” He said that the resistance will remain faithful to the sacrifices and adhere to the principles of its people and nation, and that any flexibility we show in negotiations is out of concern for the blood of our people and to put an end to For his great pain and great sacrifices in the brutal war of extermination against him, they are matched by his willingness to defend the Palestinian people.”
Regarding the issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Haniyeh addressed a call to the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and the occupied interior to travel to Al-Aqsa from the first day of the month of Ramadan, stressing that “Al-Aqsa will remain the address of confrontation, and our people will defend their mosques, churches and sanctities with all forms of resistance.”
He said that the Al-Aqsa Flood operation was for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, and that “the resistance entered Al-Aqsa Flood at a time when the enemy was preparing to liquidate the Palestinian cause.”
He stressed that the occupier imagines that he is emptying the meaning of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle by further encroaching on Al-Aqsa Mosque, where he besieged it and freed his extremists to perform Biblical rituals, and released his soldiers to display their religious war by raising the flags of the alleged Temple on their tanks.
He said, "The occupier is setting the foundations once again for future battles, with Al-Aqsa as their title," and in the same context, he stressed that the minimum that the Palestinians accept in Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites is adherence to the status quo in accordance with international law.
Haniyeh also spoke in his speech - which came within the Al-Quds International Foundation event in Beirut - about the West Bank, saying that the intensification of aggression it is witnessing lays the foundation for a comprehensive displacement plan.
