GAZA, (PIC)
Spokesman for the Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida said that there will be no compromise on its demand that Israel withdraw from Gaza to secure the release of Israeli captives seized in the October 7 attack.
“Our top priority to reach a prisoner exchange deal is the complete commitment to the halt of aggression and an enemy withdrawal, and there is no compromise on this,” Abu Obeida said in a televised statement.
Captives are suffering from a lack of food and medication because of shortages of supplies in Gaza, he added.
Here are excerpts of the full speech he delivered in the televised statement:
The battle of the Al-Aqsa Flood enters today, and this savage war on our people, its sixth month, and still the criminal enemy practices against our people a real Nazi holocaust of killing, starving, tightening, and destruction and despises all the laws of the world and its miserable systems and literatures, which stand powerless before an usurping occupying entity devoid of all human values.
Our people stand in the face of an unprecedented American zionist aggression in history, so that this battle, God willing, will establish a new phase not only on the level of Gaza and Palestine but on the level of the world, a phase whose title is that rights can only be taken by force and weapon and that every rights seeker should not wait for a mirage from international powers that have practiced oppressing peoples and enslaving nations.
The international community and its outdated laws are designed to protect injustice, oppression, and aggression with the might of the tyrant force, at the forefront of which is the American administration. Our people and our resistance understood this equation early on, hence the resistance of our people and its renewed revolution, and therefore the epic of October 7th came as a response to decades-long continuous aggression, which culminated in an attempt to Judaize, defeat, and provoke the feelings of all Muslims.
The zionist rampage escalated with the arrival of the most extreme and Nazi government to power in the entity, planning before October 7th what it is doing today in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, based on an alleged Torah heritage that openly calls for the burning, killing, and destruction of other nations, empowered by gangs of zionist usurpers who have long since started their detestable religious war against our Al-Aqsa, our people, our sanctities, and our land.
The murderous criminal government… If there were justice and preserved right in the world, its leaders today would be condemned for committing a holocaust against a people and a nation, but it is the law of the jungle in which the so-called Security Council convenes, where the trembling hand of the oppressor is raised to obstruct any attempt, even a formal one, to support the oppressed and deter the aggressors.
In the face of this reality and aggression, we in Al-Qassam Brigades and the Palestinian resistance have carried our souls on our hands and still do, realizing that the enemy, who understands only the language of force, will not be subdued by statements, conferences, condemnations, or even international resolutions.
We have prepared for our enemy what will disgrace him, and we have been the fate of God upon him. We fought, and we still are fighting for decades. Here we are, fighting in the battle of the Al-Aqsa Flood for the 154th day, still inflicting heavy, significant losses on this besieged enemy and his aggressive, criminal army – losses among their officers, soldiers, mercenaries, and machinery.
By the strength and help of God, we still have more as long as Israel’s aggression continues on our land unabated, there will be no calm, and it will not succeed in bringing security, neither to its public nor to its terrified, confused army, before it gives our people their right and ends its occupation of our land and our sanctities.
O our people, our nation, and the free people of the world, we, in the Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, at the dawn of the sixth month of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle and on the threshold of the blessed month of Ramadan, extend our blessings to our great people, to our Islamic nation, for the approaching holy month of Ramadan, a month of obedience, jihad, and victories.
