Haniyeh: The Palestinian resistance is engaged in a heroic epic whose title is Al-Aqsa

The head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas”, Ismail Haniyeh, confirmed that the Palestinian resistance is engaged in these historical moments in a heroic epic whose title is Al-Aqsa, our sanctities, and our prisoners, as its central and fundamental cause is the criminal Zionist aggression that took place against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Haniyeh said in a press statement today, Saturday: “The Zionist aggression reached its peak during the past days, as thousands of fascist criminal settlers desecrated the Shrine of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and performed their prayers there in preparation for imposing Zionist sovereignty over it, which is the step towards which we had information that he was going on by imposing sovereignty over Al-Aqsa Mosque, even if the world remained silent, we would not remain silent regarding this desecration and this intention of aggression.

He added, “We are confident that all of our nation, from east to west, from north to south, and everywhere, will be part of the battle to defend the Prophet’s site, may God bless him and grant him peace.”

Haniyeh called on every Muslim everywhere and all the free people of the world to stand in this just battle in defense of Al-Aqsa and the Prophet’s mission, to do whatever they can, stressing: “This is not the time to wait and watch, and it is not the time for victory in the heart only, but victory in action.”

He continued: “The enemy besieging Gaza has planned to surprise it and escalate the aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip, in addition to the settlement and aggression that continues every moment in the West Bank, which seeks to uproot our people and expel them from their land, and the occupation continues to detain our prisoners for decades, and its violation of the agreements when it re-arrested the liberators from the Loyalty of the Free People deal.

He added: “For all this, we are waging a battle of honor, resistance and dignity to defend Al-Masra and Al-Aqsa under the title announced by Commander-in-Chief Abu Khaled Al-Deif, the Al-Aqsa flood. This flood began in Gaza and will extend to the West Bank and abroad and every place where our people and nation are present.””
