Senior member of Hamas’ Political Bureau, Khalil Al-Hayya, reiterated in a statement issued Sunday, that the Palestinian resistance remains resolute in its mission to liberate the land and people, declaring that what was rejected in the past will not be accepted today.

Marking the first anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, Al-Hayya reflected on the ongoing Palestinian struggle, noting that “a year later, our people continue to write a new chapter of history with their resistance, blood, and steadfastness.”

He emphasized that any gains Israel could not achieve through force will not be granted through negotiations.

He stressed that the operation shattered “the Zionist entity’s perceived military superiority, as fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades and other factions carried out heroic acts that have changed the balance of power.”

Al-Hayya further pointed to the increasing resistance in the West Bank, where Palestinians are pushing back against Israeli settlement expansion and Judaization efforts.

He further highlighted the recent Jaffa operation as one of the latest examples of this ongoing resistance.

“Our objective is clear,” Al-Hayya said. “We seek the complete liberation of our land and holy sites, the establishment of a sovereign, independent Palestinian state, and the return of refugees to their homeland.”

Al-Hayya praised the unwavering support of the Lebanese Islamic Resistance, which has been involved in the struggle since day one. He acknowledged the sacrifices made by the Lebanese, including thousands of martyrs and wounded, noting that Israel’s aggression has turned Lebanon into a key front in the conflict.

“We are united in this battle,” he said, addressing the Lebanese people and their resistance fighters. “Blood is blood, and destruction is destruction. The blood of our leaders, including Ismail Haneyya and Hasan Nasrallah, has forged a new dawn for our nation with Al-Aqsa at its heart and Jerusalem as its destination.”

Al-Hayya extended his gratitude to Yemen’s Ansarullah for their steadfast support, both in terms of military action and the millions who have shown solidarity with the Palestinian cause. He noted that the missile and drone strikes launched by Yemen’s resistance forces have significantly shifted the battle’s dynamics, striking deep into the heart of Israeli territory.

He also commended the Islamic Republic of Iran for its support, pointing to recent missile strikes in retaliation for Israel’s targeted killings of Hasan Nasrallah and leader Ismail Haneyya on Iranian soil. Al-Hayya described Iran’s actions as reshaping the battlefield, likening their missiles to “meteors filling the skies over occupied Palestine.”

Al-Hayya also highlighted the drone and missile strikes from Iraq. He stressed that Iraq, both in its present and historical role, is deeply embedded in the Palestinian cause.

Al-Hayya called on the Arab and Islamic nations to translate their solidarity into concrete action, saying, “We appreciate your noble feelings towards our people, but now is the time for roaring resistance from east to west.”

In a message to the international community, Al-Hayya urged an end to silence, warning that continued inaction would only allow further Israeli aggression.

“Enough with the silence,” he stated, “as it only perpetuates the aggression against our people and the Lebanese. Israel is the epicenter of evil and destruction in the region, and the source of its instability.”

He concluded by expressing confidence in the future of the Palestinian struggle, stating that past efforts have laid a strong foundation on which Palestinians can build their future. “What we have previously achieved serves as an important foundation for what comes next,” Al-Hayya affirmed.
