“The Israeli enemy, in the face of the escalation of resistance in the West Bank, fled to accuse Iran and to pretend that what is happening there is an Iranian plan and that the Palestinians there are tools, and this is foolishness. The battle in the West Bank is with the Palestinian people. Yes, the Islamic Republic supports the oppressed Palestinian people, but the resistance project is a Palestinian project.”Tzvi Joffre, “Nasrallah warns Israel against targeting Hamas leaders in Lebanon,” Jerusalem Post, August 29, 2023, https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-756625.

“The enemy must admit that he is in an existential dilemma, and he will not find solutions, no matter how his leadership meets, and if they consult all the experts of the world, they will not be able to get out of their predicament. The only solution for the enemy entity is to leave Palestine to its people and owners, otherwise the fighting will continue generation after generation.”Tzvi Joffre, “Nasrallah warns Israel against targeting Hamas leaders in Lebanon,” Jerusalem Post, August 29, 2023, https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-756625.

“The leaders of the occupation government, with their extremist policies, will cause an all-out war in the region. Some in the cabinet are considering actions such as taking control of Al-Aqsa Mosque and dividing it, along with assassinations, knowing that this would lead to a regional war. If we reach the point of an all-out confrontation, Israel will face an unprecedented defeat in its history, and we are confident of that.”“Senior Hamas official threatens ‘regional war’ if Israel resumes targeted killings,” Times of Israel, August 27, 2023, https://www.timesofisrael.com/senior-hamas-official-threatens-regional-war-if-israel-resumes-targeted-killings/.

Speech accusing Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency of complicity in the death of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib in the seventh century:

“Qatam was a prostitute. What had been the modus operandi of the Israeli-Jewish intelligence agency? What do we know about them? How do they get their sources? It is either through money or through women. Right? In this case, it was a woman. There is no doubt that she worked for the Israeli Mossad back then, and through her, they recruited [Imam Ali's killer]. Abd Al-Satan Ibn Criminal [i.e. Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Mujlam].”“Iraqi Shi’ite Militia Leader Qais Al-Khazali: The Israeli Mossad Used A Prostitute To Assassinate Imam Ali In The 7th Century,” MEMRI, May 15, 2023, https://www.memri.org/reports/iraqi-shiite-militia-leader-qais-al-khazali-israeli-mossad-used-prostitute-assassinate-imam.

Statement on the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding, known as the Naqba (“catastrophe”) to Palestinians:

“On this anniversary, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas salutes the Palestinian heroic martyrs, who fell in their quest for freedom, wishes the injured speedy recovery, and hails the detainees in Israeli occupation jails. The movement states the following:

“First: The Joint Operations Chamber has consolidated the unity of the Palestinian people in their struggle for liberation against the Israeli occupation.

“Second: The Israeli occupation will never have any legitimacy or sovereignty over historic Palestine and the occupation's endeavours to obliterate the historic features and identity of Palestine are bound to fail.

“Third: We will remain loyal to the Palestinians languishing in Israeli occupation jails and we will continue to work towards releasing them by all available means.

“Fourth: The main reason behind the great suffering of the millions of Palestinian refugees is the Israeli occupation. The Palestinian refugees’ right to return to their land, from which they were forcibly evicted, is inalienable.

“Fifth: The 75-year-long Israeli occupation of Palestine is a stain on those who remained silent and have not lifted a finger to expose the occupation’s crimes and put an end to its aggression against our people, land, and holy places.

“Sixth: We call on the international community, Arab and Muslim Ummah, and the free peoples of the world to side with the just Palestinian cause and take swift action to end all forms of aggression against the Palestinian people until they regain their rights.”“Statement on 75th anniversary of Palestinian Nakba,” Hamas, May 15, 2023, https://hamas.ps/en/post/4731/Statement-on-75th-anniversary-of-Palestinian-Nakba.

“The Jewish entity proudly celebrates its brutal occupation and usurpation of the blessed land of Palestine. Another shameful and painful reminder of the brazenness of the Jewish entity whose filth soils the sacred sites of the blessed land of Palestine before the eyes of the neighboring Muslim countries. The rows of flags of the Jewish entity hoisted above for all to see, the occupiers celebrate their holidays all the while desecrating the Muslim prayer sites and all too recently in the holy month of Ramadan – Masjid Al-Aqsa smashing the furniture and beating the worshippers on the blessed nights – as a reminder again for the idle armed forces of the Muslim forces. The settlers also stormed into the Aqsa compound with their flags making their way into Bab Al-Rahma provoking the Palestinians.

“The flags represent the existence of the state that is the enemy to the people of Palestine and its lands and sanctities. Its existence that was founded by the British empire to become and remain a thorn in the heart of the Muslim lands of the Middle East to obstruct their unity as one Islamic Ummah that radiate power and brotherhood to the other Muslim lands in the Asian continent and African continent to unite as one Ummah.”Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia, Facebook post, May 3, 2023, 2:09 p.m., https://www.facebook.com/hizbaust/posts/pfbid02kGsy9F3LMHFqqNB3b6QjKpEoGyub2F7ApXym12moBBSFJKhZxgVYfuaBQh98D9Kl.

We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].
