The head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Ismail Haniyeh, said on Saturday that the resistance began writing history with the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, which marked “the beginning of the disappearance of the occupation from our land and our sanctity,” and stressed that Israel’s “aggression” against the Gaza Strip amounts to “war crimes.” .

In a televised speech broadcast today, Saturday, Haniyeh said, “The enemy and his cowardly army could not confront our brave men, so he resorted to committing massacres. He believes that his massacres will erase the shame of humiliation and defeat after Hamas’ strategic strike, and we will resume the strategy of liberation and return despite what the enemy is doing with the support of the United States.” .

Regarding Israel’s calls to displace the residents of Gaza to Sinai, Haniyeh said that the people of Gaza are rooted in their land, clinging to their homeland, and will not leave their land or emigrate. He added, “I tell the enemy that the strategic strike inflicted on you indicates that our liberation and return are within reach, as there is no emigration from the West Bank.” Nor from Gaza, and I say no immigration from Gaza to Egypt, and I salute our brothers in Egypt and tell them that it is our decision to remain in our land, and your decision is our decision.”

Regarding the accusation of resistance members of targeting civilians and children, he said, “Hamas does not target civilians, adults or children, and its rifle cannot tremble in the face of the misleading Israeli media narrative.”

The head of Hamas's political bureau addressed, "A word of thanks to these masses who stood in Arab and international capitals and affirmed their support for Gaza, and I call on them to continue. I say to our masses in the protest marches supporting us in all cities, do not stop. We will continue our struggle until we have a state, our prisoners and our sanctities are liberated, and our displaced people return to their homes."

"war crimes"

Earlier, Haniyeh confirmed that Israel's "aggression" against the Gaza Strip amounts to "war crimes," in a letter he sent to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

In a statement, Haniyeh said that he stressed that “the barbaric aggression and horrific violations committed by the occupation army against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, all of which amount to war crimes in accordance with the Fourth Geneva Conventions.”

He called for pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities "to immediately stop these crimes and respect the obligations of international humanitarian law."
