TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Shahab, Khalil al-Hayya, the head of the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, in his speech today on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the founding of this movement, said: We salute the fighters, heroes, and noble residents of Gaza who are still standing despite the pain and suffering.

He added: The Palestinian nation is living in difficult conditions today and is suffering severe pain as a result of the Zionist regime’s aggression and genocide. The mujahideen commander “Raed Saad” dedicated his life to his homeland and religion and struggled in the way of God, so much so that he was persecuted by the Zionist regime for decades and lived like this.

Al-Hayya stated: The Palestinian nation and Resistance have succeeded in achieving several strategic goals and shattering the myth of strategic deterrence and the claims of security superiority of the Zionist regime. The Zionist narratives of decades of bullying and oppression have collapsed, and new thinking has emerged.

He also stated: The natural position of the Palestinian issue, which had been weakened over the past decades, has returned to its original conditions. The Resistance project on the path to liberation has also become the hope of the Arab and Islamic nations. In the next stage, Hamas leaders are working to confront the challenges ahead and continue their steps to stop the war, especially completing the first stage of the ceasefire, the entry of humanitarian aid, and the opening of the Rafah crossing from both sides. The mission of the Peace Council in the Gaza Strip is to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. We emphasize that Resistance and its weapons are a legitimate right for all occupied nations under international law, but at the same time, we welcome any proposal that considers this right and guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. We call on the mediators, especially the US government and Trump, to take action to oblige the occupiers to implement the ceasefire agreement.

Al-Hayya emphasized: We emphasize joint cooperation with Palestinian groups to achieve national unity. We must work to restore the status of the Palestine Liberation Organization, as well as the international trial of the Zionist leaders and the political isolation of this regime. The prisoners in Israeli prisons are one of the priorities of Hamas and the Resistance groups.

He emphasized: We honor the memory of the martyrs of this nation in Al-Aqsa Storm Operation, especially the martyr Sayed Hassan Nasrallah and the martyr Hajj Ramadan. We appreciate all those who supported the Palestinian people and their cause, especially the mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. We thank all those who defended Palestine in the political and diplomatic arenas in the Security Council and international forums. On the 38th anniversary of the founding of Hamas, we emphasize that this movement will remain steadfast on the path of Resistance and the liberation of Palestine. We remain committed to our commitment to the Resistance and ask God to link our fate with the fate of the martyred leaders.
