Abu Hamza, spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement - said that the issue of the day following the war in the Gaza Strip “can only be determined by the mujahideen,” and called for the first day of Ramadan to be considered an international day to support Gaza.
Abu Hamza added - in a speech broadcast by Al Jazeera - saying, “I call on our Arab and Islamic nation to make the first day of Ramadan an international day in support of Gaza,” before adding, “Let Ramadan be a month of terror and anxiety for the occupation.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently proposed a plan for the day after the war, which stipulates that Israel would take security control of the Gaza Strip for an indefinite period, establish a buffer zone between the Gaza Strip and the adjacent settlements, and security control of the border between Gaza and Egypt.
The plan also stipulates rejecting unilateral recognition of the Palestinian state without unconditional negotiation with Israel, and linking the start of the reconstruction process for the Gaza Strip to achieving disarmament.
Abu Hamza confirmed the continuation of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle on the basis of the unity of the arenas in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen, and continued, “We will not stop our resistance, no matter how long it extends, until the occupation is defeated from Gaza and from all of Palestine.”
He added, explaining, "We went to open war to liberate the prisoners and achieve the interests of our peoples," and sent a message to the Palestinian people in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, saying, "Go, light and heavy, to attack the enemy."
He stressed the continuation of steadfastness in the face of the Israeli war machine and the clear war of annihilation, and revealed that the Al-Quds Brigades had killed and dismembered all members of an Israeli force in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, in addition to carrying out many diverse combat missions against the occupation forces.
