The Hamas top leader Ismail Hanyia said that national efforts exerted to save the Palestinian cause from being liquidated must be laid on five strategies:

First: Continuous protection of resistance as we are living in a world that respects only the strong.

Second: We have to build a national Palestinian unity based on respecting partnership, adhering to the Palestinian agreements, and rebuilding the Palestinian home.

Thirds: We have to be open to elements of the Ummah, all the parties, world countries, and blocs. We represent a cause, which needs our support.

Forth: We have to work on ending the siege imposed on Gaza. No one can undermine Gaza's patriotism and resistance.

Fifth: Hamas was and still insisting to go to Cairo along with all the Palestinian factions on the basis of partnership in taking national decisions.

Hamas is a movement of a national liberation and is an essential part of the Palestinians people, Hanyia added in his speech at a scientific conference held in Gaza that was dubbed as “Hamas: 30 Years on  ... Reality and Hopes.”

Hanyia warned of ‘the deal of the century’ that targets Jerusalem, the Palestinian refugee issue, and their right of return.

Regarding the Great March of Return, Hanyia stressed that the Palestinian people will continue their popular protests until the Israeli Occupation lifts its 12-year siege on Gaza.

Hanyia noted that the sole enemy of the Palestinian people, including Hamas, is the Israeli Occupation. 

He confirmed that Hamas is committed to its ethics, which establish good relations with its people and all the Palestinian factions adding, “We could have a political difference, but we do not have enmity at all.”

Haniyeh shed a light on the challenges posed to the Palestinian cause, which were mentioned by the former Head of Hamas Political Bureau Khalid Mesh'al in his speech at the conference.

The member of Hamas Political Bureau, Fathi Hamad, also participated in the conference and he stressed that ‘the deal of the century’ is the most appalling ‘crime’ targeting the Palestinian cause.

He confirmed that his movement will foil this deal and preserve the Palestinian people’s rights and constants, concluding that Hamas has gone through ‘pain’ and has been put under pressure, yet it has been following a moderate strategy in its fight for the Palestinians’ rights and constants.
