We mourn the martyred leader Abu Hamza to our steadfast Palestinian people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world. We recall his heroic stances and his firm voice, which echoed the victories of the resistance in confronting the brutality of the occupation, and bore witness to its steadfastness in the face of its brutal aggression."

❗️Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanou:

○ "The occupation’s closure of Salah al-Din Road is a complete reversal of the agreement, a deepening of Gaza’s siege, and an escalation of its suffocation."

○ "Gaza is facing genocide, siege, and starvation, with no regard for the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan or adherence to international laws and humanitarian conventions."

○ "The Zionist occupation, with American support and international silence, is destroying life in Gaza and reneging on the signed agreement."

○ "Any proposal based on entering negotiations for the second phase and achieving a permanent ceasefire is welcome and open for discussion."

○ "We are keen to stop the bloodshed and open to any efforts that lead to a permanent end to the war and the withdrawal from Gaza."

○ "The continuation of war only serves Netanyahu’s political future and threatens the lives of captives in Gaza."
