The Palestinian resistance is ready to repulse any Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, member of Hamas Political Bureau Khalil al-Hayya has said.

Speaking at a popular demonstration held in Gaza by Palestinian factions to protest the Emirati-Israeli deal, al-Hayya added that all Palestinian segments and factions are united against normalisation with the Israeli occupation.

United for Palestine

Al-Hayya called for the Palestine Liberation Organisation’s (PLO) Leadership Framework to convene to agree on an inclusive strategy to restructure Palestinian institutions and face off the Israeli occupation and its plans.

The senior Hamas official welcomed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s announcement to call for an immediate meeting for secretary generals of all Palestinian factions to set up a national strategy to face off the challenges posed to the Palestinian cause.      

Al-Hayya urged for restructuring all Palestinian national institutions, including the PLO, to allow all Palestinians and factions to participate on the basis of partnership and inclusive resistance against the occupation.    

A message for normalisers

Al-Hayya warned against normalising ties with the Israeli occupation, calling for criminalising the Israeli occupation instead of establishing relations with it.

Reiterating his movement’s rejection to all attempts to normalise relations with the Israeli occupation, al-Hayya stressed that Palestine and Jerusalem “aren’t for bargaining.”

Al-Hayya urged the international community to put an end to the occupation, oppression, and injustice that the Palestinian people are subjected to.
