Head of Hamas Political Bureau in Gaza Yahya al-Sinwar said on Friday that his movement “will use every means to break the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip for more than 11 years.”

During a memorial service held in Gaza today night to honour Nour Baraka, Al-Sinwar said, “We do not bargain our rights with our food. We decided to break the Israeli siege imposed on Gaza through international brokers, the peaceful protests or any other means.”

Baraka is the Qassam Commander, who was assassinated during an incursion of a squad of Israeli Special Forces infiltrated to Khan Younis last week.

“We will never bargain our resistance with the milk of our children, the food of our people or the treatment of our patients,” he said, stressing that “there are basic rights for the Gaza residents as they are for everyone else.”

Al-Sinwar added, “We will never lay down our guns. We will use our guns to defend our rights when we consume all other means.”

The Hamas leader sent a message to the national Palestinian factions, asking them to “come together on the same table and start a serious dialogue based on the Palestinian rights, unity, and national partnership.”

Giving them an example about the success of the national partnership, he said: “During the past three-day Israeli offensive on Gaza, 13 Palestinian military factions worked together and did a very good job in defending the Palestinian people in Gaza and deterring the Israeli aggression.”

He added, “The victory of the Palestinian factions in Gaza is a message to the Palestinians who maintain security cooperation with the Israeli occupation… If the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank had a leadership that supported their resistance, they would have gained many of the Palestinians rights.”

Giving a piece of advice to the Israeli occupation after what happened last week, he said, “My advice to the Israeli occupation is that it should not repeat its failed incursion or send its Special Forces next time because it will not be easy for them.”

At the end of his speech, he sent a message to the Arab capitals, which normalise ties with the Israeli occupation. “You build up ties with the Israeli occupation in order to consolidate your thrones, but this will never be useful and you will be the loser,” he said.
