“We are at the doors of the blessed month of Ramadan, and with this Nazi aggression against our people continuing for the 151st day, despite the scale of killing, massacres, and genocide, and the pain of displacement, hunger, and thirst, this Nazi enemy has not achieved any of its aggressive goals.

“The image of the erosion of the defeated entity and its war pillars internally is increasingly deteriorating and growing, while the image of our people’s steadfastness, patience, strength, and the bravery of our resistance is firm, rooted, and determined to be victorious.

“We send our greetings, pride, and honor to our people in the Gaza Strip, who continue their legendary epic of patience and sacrifice. We also send peace and greetings to the victorious Al-Qassam Brigades, the fighting Saraya Al-Quds, and the men of the Palestinian resistance on the land of Gaza of glory, who continue with all strength, capability, will, and determination to forge a legacy of glory for our people and our nation.”“‘This is Why Negotiations are Stalling’–Osama Hamdan,” Palestine Chronicle, March 5, 2024, https://www.palestinechronicle.com/this-is-why-negotiations-are-stalling-osama-hamdan/.

In a speech calling for Ramadan to be a “month of terror”:

“Isn’t it time for you to raise your guns like the free people in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq?...Isn’t it time for you to take off the garment of slavery and humiliation to America, the Great Satan, and follow the example of the honorable?...We are certain that the single body of the nation will do the impossible and will make the month of Ramadan historic days to wash away shame and threaten the existence of the Israeli enemy entity and global arrogance.”Seth J. Frantzman, “Palestinian Islamic Jihad calls for Ramadan to be 'month of terror’ – analysis,” Jerusalem Post, March 3, 2024, https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-789938.

“We have previously announced that our contact has been cut off with our mujahideen who are guarding a number of enemy prisoners and that we believe that a number of the prisoners have been killed as a result of the Zionist bombing.

“After examination and scrutiny during recent weeks, we have confirmed the martyrdom of a number of our mujahideen and the killing of seven enemy prisoners in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Zionist bombing.”Danielle Greyman-Kennard and Sam Halpern, “Hamas claims seven hostages killed in captivity in Gaza,” Jerusalem Post, March 1, 2024, https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-789799.  

“We hold the Zionist occupation, its fascist government, its Nazi army, President Biden, and the American administration fully responsible for this massacre, and for the escalation of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people.

“We have mercy on the souls of our people’s martyrs, and we affirm that their sacrifices and blood will not be in vain, and that we will remain loyal to our cause, our land, and our sanctities.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, February 29, 2024.

“We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemn in the strongest terms the use of the US President Joe Biden’s administration’s veto against the Algerian draft resolution in the Security Council, demanding an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons and rejecting forced displacement. We consider the failure of this resolution to be a disruption of international will in service of the Nazi occupation’s agenda aimed at killing and displacing our Palestinian people.

“President Joe Biden and his administration bear direct responsibility for obstructing the issuance of a decision to stop the aggression against Gaza. The American position is a green light for the occupation to commit more massacres, and to kill our defenseless people through bombing and starvation, and a direct partnership in the war of extermination that it is committing against children and defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.”“**Press Statement**|,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, February 20, 2024.

“In light of the statements of the leaders of the Nazi occupation, declaring their intention to expand their ongoing brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip to include the city of Rafah, which is crowded with our displaced people, we warn of the danger of the occupation committing widespread and horrific massacres in the city of Rafah, which contains more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinian citizens, living in poor conditions. Harsh humanity as a result of the continued aggression and the brutal terrorist crimes of the occupation.

“The American administration’s position of not supporting the attack on Rafah does not absolve it of full legal and political responsibility for the consequences of this attack and the resulting massacres of children, women and defenseless civilians. It provides the occupation with open support with the weapons with which the Palestinian people are killed around the clock.

“We call on the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations Security Council to take urgent and serious action to prevent the occupation and its neo-Nazi leaders from committing genocide in the city of Rafah with the aim of displacing our Palestinian people, whose steadfastness, sacrifices and adherence to their land have thwarted the goals of the Nazi occupation.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, February 10, 2024.

“Palestinians’ resistance against the Israeli occupation is the real guarantee for a potential deal, like the one that was achieved during the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.”“Senior Hamas leader says operations like October 7 will ‘guarantee a potential deal,’” i24News, February 19, 2024, https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/palestinian-territories/1708326714-senior-hamas-leader-says-operations-like-october-7-will-guarantee-a-potential-deal.

Statement following the onset of the Hamas-Israel war in the Gaza strip:

 “[T]he current victories achieved in Palestine have been unable to be achieved by all the Arab armies…all the Arab leaders abandoned the Palestinian cause, and only the Islamic Revolution [referring to Iran] and the resistance factions remain with it…if America intervenes in Palestine, we will be forced to intervene and will not hesitate to target [US personnel].”Joe Truzman, “Other Iraqi groups, figures join the fray warning the United States against support for Israel,” Long War Journal, October 11, 2023, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2023/10/other-iraqi-groups-figures-join-the-fray-warning-the-united-states-against-support-for-israel.php.

Editorial on Hamas’s War on Israel:

“This battle [Al-Aqsa Storm] is not only a battle for the liberation of Al-Aqsa, rather a battle for our freedom from the claws of the New World Order too. The first step in our freedom is our mental freedom, the freedom of our heart and mind and thought and vision. This is that freedom after which we will be able to know what duty is upon us by reasoning and by shari’a, and also which enemy it is essential to target as a first priority to bring down and break up the system whose vein is in the claws of the Jews.”“In January 2024 Issue Of Its Urdu-Language Journal ‘Nawa-i-Ghazwa-e-Hind,’ Al-Qaeda In The Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) Reacts To Pakistan Navy Deploying Warships In Support Of Israel, Urges Attacks On Americans Worldwide: Hamas Attack ‘Is Not Only A Battle For The Liberation Of Al-Aqsa, Rather A Battle For Our Freedom From The Claws Of The New World Order Too,’” Middle East Media Monitor, February 13, 2024, https://www.memri.org/jttm/january-2024-issue-its-urdu-language-journal-nawa-i-ghazwa-e-hind-al-qaeda-indian-subcontinent.
