Leader of the Hamas movement, Osama Hamdan, confirmed that his movement is tirelessly striving to end the aggressive war on the Palestinian people, and that it is working with all national responsibility to intensify the introduction of relief and humanitarian aid, heal the wounds of our patient people stationed, and strengthen their steadfastness on the proud land of Gaza.

Hamdan revealed - in a press conference from Beirut this Thursday evening, keeping pace with the developments of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, that the mediators in Egypt and Qatar were informed late last night of the movement’s position, and that it adhered to its position that was officially communicated to them and delivered on March 14.

Hamdan explained: The elements of our position are the need to stop the aggression, the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, the return of the displaced to their homes, especially in the north, intensifying relief access to all places in the Gaza Strip, starting reconstruction, and a real and serious prisoner exchange process.

He said: We will remain loyal and faithful to the blood of the martyrs and the sacrifices of our people in the Gaza Strip. What Israel was unable to achieve through murder, crime and genocidal war, it will not succeed in achieving by prolonging the negotiations.

He praised the level of awareness, vigilance and national responsibility of all components of national, factional and tribal action in promoting unity and cohesion in confronting the Israeli army.

He warned against the suspicious and despicable plans that are consistent with the occupation’s malicious projects to spread confusion and sow discord among the people.

He said: On the 181st day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the chapters of the largest, most horrific and longest heinous crime in modern history continue, and its horrific daily events continue. Between massacre, genocide, field executions, barbaric bombing, arrest and displacement, against more than two million Palestinian citizens, most of whom are women and children.

He stressed that the Palestinian people have proven, during half a year of continuous Israeli aggression, that they are the “Mountain of Bearings,” which contains in its living memory and struggle all the ingredients of strength, will, and steadfastness, and whose great bond, patience, and resistance will be destroyed by all the plans of the enemy and its supporters on the land of Gaza.

He expressed his confidence that, God willing, the chapters of this brutal aggression would end with a conclusion befitting the greatness of the martyrs, the valor of the resistance, and the legendary epic created by the great people of Gaza over the course of six months.

We salute our steadfast and patient people stationed in the Gaza Strip, with all its segments, sects and components, who stand united like a solid statement in the face of all attempts to undermine their unity and steadfastness, as they write their heroic epic in the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.

Hamdan blessed the heroic operations of our people in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, and considered them a natural response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation and support for our people and our resistance in the Gaza Strip, and an affirmation of the cohesion and unity of our people around the choice of resistance as a path to liberation and return, and we call for its continuation and escalation.

Alshifaa pyre

The Hamas leader stressed that the heinous crime committed by Israel against the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the medical staff, the unarmed civilians, the sick, and the displaced in and around it will remain a witness to the brutality and sadism of this occupation, and a stain of disgrace on the foreheads of all those who are negligent and negligent in condemning these crimes, stopping them, and prosecuting their perpetrators.

He said: The continued international silence and inability towards these massacres constitutes a green light to commit more massacres, and targeting a convoy of workers at the World Central Kitchen Organization, south of Deir al-Balah, only reinforces that this occupation is rogue and devoid of all human values, which requires urgent measures to be taken. And immediately to deter and curb his terrorism and prosecute him afterwards.

He deplored the complete official international silence that accompanied this crime of storming and destroying Al-Shifa Hospital. This surprising silence makes us wonder how this world, with all its laws, treaties, and justice system, can coexist. With a corrupt rogue entity that tramples all laws and acts as if it is above accountability.

He stressed that the policy of terrorism, intimidation, and killing practiced by the occupation against relief teams requires a firm international stance that goes beyond the timid statements issued in response to this heinous targeting, and also goes beyond the demands for an investigation into the crime by the Israeli army, into the causes and circumstances of its occurrence. The reasons are It is clear, and the criminal declares himself, and does not care about all these statements and demands.

Torture of detainees

He said: What was revealed by Israeli and international media about horrific systematic violations and cruel torture methods committed against Palestinian prisoners from the Gaza Strip, which was confirmed by testimonies of prisoners who were released, represents a war crime added to the series of sadistic crimes carried out by the Nazi occupation army.

We hold the occupation fully responsible for the lives and safety of thousands of abductees and detainees who are subjected to the worst types of torture and retaliatory abuse. We deplore the international silence in the face of the continuation of executions and murders under torture to which they are subjected, and we call for intervention to rescue them and release them immediately.

He also held the American administration and its President Biden personally responsible politically, legally, morally and humanitarianly for war crimes. This administration will not be held accountable for its support and full partnership with this occupation in the war crime of genocide, by supporting it politically and diplomatically and providing it with uninterrupted bridges of weapons, bombs, equipment and war ammunition.
