🟢 Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, Saleh Al-Arouri (1/2)
—
Currently, there are no negotiations, and the official and final stance of Hamas and the resistance is that there will be no exchange until the complete and final cessation of the zionist terrorist aggression.
From the beginning, Hamas declared that it is ready to release foreign prisoners without any exchange, and that children and women prisoners will not be targeted, and will be released.
The remaining prisoners with us are soldiers and former soldiers, and there are no negotiations regarding their matter until the end of the aggression.
We have said from the beginning that we are ready to exchange the bodies of our martyrs held by the occupation, but we need time to retrieve the bodies of the zionist prisoners killed by the occupation in its raids on our people in Gaza.
The elderly men, all of whom served in the army, some of whom are still on the reserve list, have different criteria for us than what was previously mentioned.
The zionist terrorist occupation refused to complete the deal to release the former soldiers with new criteria, thinking that by resuming targeting children and women, we would capitulate. However, our official position is that the exchange deal will be discussed after the end of the war.
The occupation is delusional if it thinks it can impose its dominance on us. Its first round in the war was a complete failure.

We are absolutely confident that the occupation will fail to control the Gaza Strip.
The forces that the zionist army mobilized to attack Gaza, which are a third of its ground forces and more than a third of its air force, are sufficient to defeat entire countries. Yet, it decided to attack only a third of the area of the Gaza Strip in the north, and for 50 days it did not succeed in taking control, and it will never succeed.
The countries supporting the zionist occupation have become convinced that the goals announced by the zionist government to eliminate Hamas, forcibly retrieve the prisoners, and control Gaza, are unachievable.
The zionist enemy needs to go through this round to so that its people and supporters are assured that it will fail to liberate the prisoners except through an exchange operation as the resistance wants.
We have said from day one that the price for releasing the zionist prisoners is the complete liberation of our prisoners, after the ceasefire.
Breaking the resistance in Gaza and controlling the Gaza Strip are just illusions. What the occupation is doing is waging a war of revenge against the innocent, hospitals, mosques, churches, and schools.
The American position is not independent of the zionist stance but rather precedes it, in covering, justifying, and executing these crimes against the Palestinian people.
America is morally bankrupt regarding the conflict in Palestine and has become more fascist and Nazi-like than the occupation itself.
Two days before the end of the ceasefire, the "israeli" War Minister Gallant himself admitted to signing the decision to resume military operations, so it wasn't Hamas that broke the ceasefire.
Our people will fight and resist and will not surrender until we force the enemy to recognize our people's historical and political rights.
This enemy will experience this round to achieve goals it failed to in the last round and will fail this time as well.
Some prisoner exchange rounds took place in central Gaza City, confirming the failure of the first round of the war.
We deeply feel the pain of our people's suffering, our children, women, and the bloodshed in the West Bank and Gaza, but this sacrifice is necessary to liberate our people, our sanctities, and our prisoners in jails who are now receiving the worst treatment.
The "israeli" Security Minister Ben-Gvir personally goes to prisons to witness the torture of prisoners, like a Nazi leader, while the world sees how Al-Qassam fighters humanely treat prisoners in Gaza.
The resistance is ready for all scenarios, whether an air or ground war, or entering every street and alley.
There is no fear for the resistance in Gaza, but this does not exempt our people and [Arab and Islamic] nation from supporting our people and those being slaughtered.
The question is not what happens after Hamas, but "how can this army extricate itself from the quagmire it has fallen into."
The displacement idea is still on the mind of the zionist project, initially planned for the West Bank, but opening the battle from Gaza shifted the battle there.
The displacement project failed, and the steadfastness of our people and their willingness to die in their land and homes rather than leave it, along with strong Arab support, thwarted this project.
The West Bank was leading the resistance scene, witnessing significant escalation and high tension before October 7, then after this date, the occupation committed all the crimes it dreamt of, with field executions becoming the norm.
Our people have always quickly resumed their resistance, as seen in the Al-Quds operation, and we are confident that the West Bank will throw its weight into this battle.

In response to the statements of the "israeli" Minister of War and the spokesman for the army regarding the Bibas family prisoners:
- The Nazi enemy government continues to lie, mislead, and deceive the "israeli" public in an attempt to shirk responsibility for killing its prisoners, especially the Bibas family, who were killed by "israeli" aircraft along with the captor group from the Mujahideen Brigades.
- Netanyahu and his fascist government bear responsibility for killing prisoners by randomly targeting the Gaza Strip in their pursuit of personal gains and escaping the consequences of failure, defeat, and paying the due prices.
- "Israeli" terrorism and genocide will not succeed in breaking the will of our people and their resistance, nor will it deter them from liberating all prisoners, reclaiming all rights, and all the land.

The oppressive Western countries and the criminal American administration, in their adoption of the aggression and the zionist holocaust against children, women, and the elderly, providing absolute and unlimited support at all levels to these fascist criminals who have exceeded the Nazis in their crimes, bear full responsibility for these massacres and slaughters committed in the Gaza Strip.
The steadfastness of our people and their resistance in the face of the machinery of killing, crime, destruction, and the zionist Holocaust will force the enemy to reconsider and submit to the conditions of the resistance. Our noble people will not submit to the enemy's unjust will, and Gaza will be the breaker of its back and the defeater of its cowardly army, God willing, no matter the sacrifices.
The statements and threats of the spokespeople for the government and army of the criminal enemy will not scare our people or their fighters and will only increase our determination to stand firm, challenge, and continue the resistance until this aggression is repelled and all its plans are foiled.

🚨 Over 20 explosions are heard in "Tel Aviv" now following the resistance's most recent barrage of rockets from #Gaza, which extended across "Tel Aviv's" suburbs to "Modi'in" west of #AlQuds. Rockets are reported to have directly hit "Modi'in" and settlers are wounded in "Tel Aviv."
In "Tel Aviv," a misfired "Iron Dome" shell hit a populated area (Video 1).
With this large barrage, the resistance shows that it remains capable of striking the zionist depth when it pleases, despite all failed zionist attempts to hinder it.
Further, zionist sources reported that this barrage was fired from the northern #Gaza Strip, an area that the IOF claims is under their "military control."

We demand all the world's forces to end the occupation of our land and our Al-Quds. We are ready to pay the price for freedom and will not accept anything less than our independence.
We had information that the aggression would return to Gaza after the civilian prisoner exchange operation.
There will be no prisoner exchange as long as the aggression continues on Gaza.
We are in a battle of liberation, and the occupier must leave our land.
We have proposed the handover of the elderly over 60 years in exchange for the release of our prisoners over 60.
Efforts are ongoing, and our brothers in Qatar are exerting efforts to curb the "israeli" aggression on Gaza.
The ruling class in the zionist entity has an interest in continuing the aggression because once it stops, its role will end and Netanyahu will go to prison.
The resistance, led by Hamas, is steadfast in Gaza, and we are certain that the Palestinian people will expel the occupation.
Every "israeli" crime against our people hastens the end of the occupation.
I salute our brothers in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and we call on all Arab and Islamic countries to fight the occupation.
An Arab state receiving the leader of the zionist entity at this time is difficult for us, illogical, and we are against normalization with the occupation.
