On the 55th Anniversary of the Zionist Aggression of 1967, the unity and resistance of our Palestinian people is the way to deter the occupation, thwart its plans, and regain our national rights

At all stages of the continuous struggle and despite the occupation’s escalated crimes against our land, holy sites, and national identity, the Palestinian people renew their struggle with steadfastness and determination. 

If the occupation and its successive extremist governments deluded themselves into achieving a phased victory in 1948 and 1967, or in any aggression, they targeted the capabilities of our Palestinian people or the desperate attempts to single out Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, or the colonial settler and Judaizing aggression against our Islamic and Christian holy sites, our Palestinian people's unity, steadfastness, cohesion, and valiant resistance are capable and determined to thwart all the occupation schemes and achieve the Palestinian aspirations for liberation and return.

The Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas salutes the steadfast and rebellious masses of our Palestinian people in every inch of the land of Palestine, the diaspora, and the refugee camps, and we affirm the following:

First: Comprehensive resistance is the only way to regain our Palestinian rights and liberate our land and sanctities. Resistance has proven its ability to unite our Palestinian people in all their residences, curb the occupation, and repel the enemy's aggression.

Second: We call on to form national unity and a true partnership that brings together all Palestinians to a program of resistance struggle, that protects our Palestinian rights and defends our constants and sanctities.

Third: The occupation crimes, massacres, and continuous aggression against the Palestinian land, people, and sanctities, at the heart of which is Jerusalem and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, will not grant it security or alleged sovereignty over any inch of them, and it will never break the will and determination of our Palestinian people to continue their legitimate struggle to regain our national rights.

Fourth: After seven decades of its brutal occupation of our historical land, the occupation has begun to witness its demise, doubt the future of its entity, and the departure of its colonial settlers, due to its fear of the steadfast Palestinian people in Jerusalem and the heroism of our rebellious youth throughout the occupied West Bank, and the convoys of martyrs and their mourners carrying the flag of Palestine.
 
Fifth: We call on the normalizing countries with the Zionist enemy to backtrack the normalization path, and we stress that it is a path in the wrong direction that serves only the agenda of the occupation in escalating its terrorism against our Palestinian people, land, and sanctities, and in penetrating the national security of our Ummah and striking its stability and the interests of its peoples.

Sixth: The duty to liberate Palestine and end the occupation is not only a Palestinian responsibility, but also the duty of the entire Ummah, which we call upon to form an Arab and Islamic front that supports and enhances the stability of our people on their land, and supports their steadfastness in their legitimate struggle until the end of the occupation.
