Suara.com – Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh said that resistance forces in the Gaza Strip are ready to face a prolonged war with the Israeli army.
In his recorded speech, Thursday (16/11/2023), Haniyeh praised the resilience of the Palestinian people and the coordination of resistance factions to disperse the capabilities of the Israeli army and weaken it in various fields.
“If the enemy wants a long battle, our capacity is longer than our enemy’s. “Our resistance will be the decisive word that shows that the resistance forces continue to fight the Zionist enemy and will emerge victorious,” he said.
He then highlighted the victories achieved by members of the Hamas resistance in the Gaza Strip.
“The heroes of the resistance are writing a page of success in Gaza, comparable to their opponents in terms of heroism and courage, by giving a painful blow to the enemy’s soldiers and military vehicles,” said Haniyeh.
He said that the world would witness Hamas’ armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, and resistance factions defeat the Israeli occupation of Gaza, as they did 18 years ago when Israel was driven out of Gaza in 2005.
“They (Israel) will reap nothing but more failure, disappointment, and defeat,” Haniyeh said.
Haniyeh considers Gaza residents and resistance groups to have thwarted the enemy’s goals and plans to evacuate or take hostages back by force.
Meanwhile, he called for the implementation of the resolutions produced at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Summit and the Arab League Summit last week, especially to immediately stop aggression, lift the blockade of Gaza, protect holy places, and realize the aspirations of the Palestinian people for freedom and independence.
Haniyeh also emphasized the importance of immediately forming a committee consisting of several countries, which is in charge of monitoring the implementation of the decisions issued by the summit. (Source: Antara/Anadolu)
