PNN – In a speech, the deputy head of the Hamas movement in Gaza assured all the people that the resistance is in a good and stable condition.
According to the report of the International group of Pakistan News Network, “Khalil Al-Hiya”, the deputy of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement in Gaza, emphasized that the resistance is in a good and stable condition.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera news channel, he added: “The resistance has been confronting the enemy and has caused them a lot of losses in its forces and equipment.”
This Hamas official said: “The resistance is stable and has the ability to cause more damage to the enemy.”
Al-Hiya stressed: “The attacks must stop and after that it is possible to talk about the exchange of prisoners and help our nation, and we emphasize that the case of the exchange is closed until the attacks stop.”
The deputy head of the Hamas movement in Gaza said: “As soon as the attacks against the people stop, we are ready for a comprehensive exchange agreement, and it would not be wise to reach an exchange agreement under the fire of criminals, and Hamas does not respond to threats under pressure.”
It was at the end of November and during the current war in Gaza that the Zionist regime and Hamas agreed to the mediation of Qatar with a four-day pause in the clashes and the exchange of prisoners (from November 24 to November 28). This agreement was extended two more times. Once for two days and once for one day. During this period, during seven stages, a number of Palestinian prisoners were exchanged with Hamas prisoners, most of whom were Israelis. The ceasefire was not extended due to the resumption of attacks by the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip.

In the continuation of his interview, this Hamas official added: “The daily arrival of 100 shipments to help our besieged nation is insufficient.”
“The enemy is not at peace in Khan Yunis, in the northern areas and in any area in the Gaza Strip,” Al-Hiya said.
Estimates from the office of the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, Benjamin Netanyahu, show that 132 Israeli prisoners are still imprisoned in Gaza, of which 112 are believed to be alive and 20 of them have been killed. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office says that “Tel Aviv still considers the bodies of those killed as hostages.”
The deputy head of Hamas in Gaza emphasized: “What was important for us today is to stop the attacks and this insane war.”
He added: “We demand a comprehensive ceasefire and the withdrawal of all occupation forces from Gaza, and we openly demand the unity of our nation in Gaza and the West Bank.”
On October 7th, the Islamic resistance movement of Palestine, Hamas, in response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, started the operation known as “Al-Aqsa Storm”.
This operation was one of the deadliest attacks against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories through the border fences at several points, attacked the villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them.
The deputy head of Hamas said: “Arab and Islamic countries can put pressure on the occupiers to send aid to Gaza, and Gaza needs hundreds of aid shipments every day.”
He continued: “The occupiers of Gaza are targeting with two weapons, bombs and rockets, as well as weapons of hunger, and there are many families in Gaza who cannot find water to drink.”
Al-Hiya added: “During a week of ceasefire, only 300 aid trucks entered Gaza. There are discussions about the reopening of the Karam Abu Salem crossing, and we demand the daily entry of 500 aid trucks into Gaza.
This Hamas official said: “I send greetings to all the free people and nations of the world who condemned Israel’s attacks on Gaza in the streets, and I also send greetings and thanks to the brothers of Ansarullah in Yemen who changed the equation.”
He continued: “I tell our brothers in Yemen’s Ansarullah to continue their actions in this direction.”
In recent weeks, in parallel with the intensification of the Israeli regime’s attacks against Gaza, the Yemeni army has narrowed the field on Israeli ships that intend to pass through the Bab al-Mandab strait in the Red Sea, and has already targeted the occupied Palestinian lands and specifically the port with drones and missiles.
40% of the world’s international trade is carried out through this strait, which passes between Yemen, at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, and the African continent.
Al-Hiya also appreciated the resistance groups in Iraq for their support of the Palestinian resistance.
