🟡 Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in a speech at the meeting of Fatah's Revolutionary Council:
—
I praise the peaceful popular resistance and confirm that it achieves its intended goals, but it needs concerted efforts to reveal the true face of the occupation to the world.
We will not allow the passage of occupation plans aimed at perpetuating and sustaining it through annexation, racial expansion schemes, applying an apartheid system, or dragging conditions into the square of violence and escalation to escape its obligations.
There is a plan set to strengthen our internal front by giving opportunities to inject new blood to take their role in the path of construction and development.
I emphasize the importance of holding a conference of the General Secretaries of the Palestinian factions in the Arab Republic of Egypt as a serious and important plan on the path to achieving the unity of our people and our land in the face of serious challenges that Palestine and the whole world are going through.
—
Note: In addition to firing nearly all of Palestine's governors, Mahmoud Abbas fired 35 international ambassadors for Palestine, or 1/3 of all ambassadors. The Egypt meeting Abbas referenced was boycotted by several factions, most notably PIJ, due to escalating PA arrests of resistance fighters and leadership. Abbas called for a follow-up committee to continue this dialogue.

Resistance fighters targeted zionist soldiers in Beit Ummar, #AlKhalil with a locally-made explosive device.
Resistance fighters open fire on the settlement of “Beit Hefer” near #Tulkarem.
"Live raised like this, O flag, for after God, we seek refuge in you." #NajisAugust
Today, Bashar Obeidi marries his fiancée Islam Alyan, after a challenging nine-year-long wait marked by Bashar's imprisonment by the zionist entity. Despite hardship, separation, and IOF aggressions on Bashar's family, their commitment never faltered.
Islam's statement in an interview a year ago reverberates with new signficance today: "Not just years...If it was a million years, I would wait for him. With the same love and honor until the day I can see him."
Bashar was freed from Naqab prison in July, when he and Islam had their first, but short-lived embrace before Bashar was ambushed again by zionist forces. Yet, their love triumphed and stands as a testament to the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and our cause.
This story of love, steadfastness, and resistance against the odds is not uncommon in Palestine. It is reminiscent of the extraordinary stories of resistance and love of the Palestinian people, the odds-defying and liberatory feats in the face of adversity, such as the dozens of children born via sperm smuggled out of zionist prisons, like Milad Daqqah. Bashar and Islam's union, as they embody a collective narrative of defiance and love, is a story emblematic of the greater struggle for Palestinian liberation itself.

🟢 Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, in an interview on Al-Mayadeen today:
—
The resistance is ready for the all-out war, and "israel" will suffer an unprecedented defeat.
We are preparing for the all-out war and discussing it behind closed doors with all the components involved in this war.
The equation has changed in the West Bank, and we are facing a new equation that is changing in favor of the resistance and its allies against the occupation.
The resistance is capable of closing the airspace and sea of the occupying entity, who will have no electricity, telecommunications, or economy.
We were offered the formation of a national unity government, and we rejected it except on the condition of holding legislative and presidential elections.
We want a national government as a prelude to steps including general elections to reunify the Palestinian situation.
We are afraid of tampering with the Palestinian situation by the United States and the occupation entity after President Abbas.
Presidential elections must be held with the presence of President Abbas, and he must ensure the building of the Palestinian system on a solid ground.
