Hamas Leader Osama Hamdan Affirms Resistance Unity Against Israeli Aggression
In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Osama Hamdan, the leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), emphasized the importance of unity among resistance forces in the face of ongoing Israeli aggression. He firmly rejected any attempts to separate these forces, asserting that a complete halt to Israeli attacks is essential for achieving any semblance of peace in the region. Hamdan highlighted that the recent escalation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon is a desperate attempt by Israel to divert attention from its failures in Gaza, where the resistance continues to gain ground.
Hamdan articulated that the Israeli strategy involves prolonging the conflict by imposing additional conditions during negotiations, particularly under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He warned that without a sincere commitment from both Israel and the United States to cease aggression, any negotiations would merely repeat past failures. The Hamas leader also acknowledged the critical role of Hezbollah and other regional resistance groups, emphasizing ongoing coordination and communication among these forces to counteract Israeli strategies.
American Policy and Its Impact on the Region
In his analysis, Hamdan criticized the American hegemony over international politics, stating that U.S. support for Israel undermines any genuine peace initiatives. He outlined the resistance's demands, which include ending aggression, terminating the occupation, and enabling the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Hamdan warned that any American political initiative failing to meet these demands would only perpetuate Israel's aggression.
Furthermore, he addressed the perception that the Gaza Strip is being marginalized in favor of escalating tensions in Lebanon, clarifying that the Palestinian resistance remains robust and interconnected with the struggles of Lebanon. The Hamas leader concluded by asserting that the sacrifices made by the resistance would ultimately lead to victory, reinforcing the idea that the time for change in the region has arrived.
