Head of Hamas bureau abroad Khaled Mishaal said on Sunday evening that Jerusalem liberation will not be through negotiations fake peace treaties with the enemy or normalization stressing that “Israel is the first and most dangerous enemy to Palestine and the region.”
Mishaal’s statements came during the “Fateh Al-Salahi Festival” organized by the Global Coalition to Support Al-Quds and Palestine in Istanbul marking the 835th anniversary of the liberation of Jerusalem by the Islamic leader Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi.
“Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque are waiting for us to race for their liberation” he said.
In his speech Mishaal pointed that Al-Fateh Al-Salahi carries three important connotations.
“First the importance of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa for which the nation’s renaissance was achieved and united.”
The second indication Mishaal continued is that “Jerusalem liberation can only be achieved through jihad resistance and martyrs.
“The third indication is very important as Salah al-Din is not a Palestinian not even an Arab but a Kurdish Muslim who was then viewed as a symbol of the entire nation.”
Mishaal further pointed out that Jerusalem liberation anniversary coincides with the 22nd anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Intifada (uprising).
