Martyr Haniyeh’s Son: My Father Was Always Ready for Martyrdom / His Path Continues
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, quoting Mehr News Agency, one year after the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, former head of Hamas’ political bureau, a voice of loyalty resounds from his home through his son Abdulsalam Haniyeh. It confirms that this fallen Palestinian leader achieved what he sought throughout his life and longed for with patient heart-martyrdom in God’s path and in pursuit of Palestine’s liberation.
Abdulsalam Haniyeh spoke to Al-Ahed News website on the first anniversary of his father’s death,stating: ”My father’s martyrdom was simply an extension of his path. His journey symbolizes sacrifice and salvation. He gave many sons and grandsons in this cause and never diverted from resistance for a moment. His voice, whether politically or on the battlefield, was decisive. He always stressed that jihad is a conviction and that all Palestinians’ blood is equal-no one’s blood is more precious than another.”
he added: “My father often said his blood was not worth more than that of Gaza’s children, women, or elderly. We are a people who sacrificed our lives for freedom and prepared ourselves for any eventuality. My father was constantly ready for martyrdom despite surviving four assassination attempts by Zionist enemies. Every day we felt close to martyrdom with him; he always told us to be prepared at any moment to hear news about his sacrifice.”
Regarding his late father’s legacy, Abdulsalam said: “My father believed in Palestinian unity and worked tirelessly both politically and practically toward achieving it. He was a man who valued unity deeply and saw division as a dagger striking Palestine’s cause in its back. The martyrs’ blood should unite us rather than divide us.” He added: “Today is time to transform these sacrifices into true unity worthy of those pure spirits.”
The martyr’s son addressed Palestinian leaders directly: “Let the martyrs’ blood illuminate our path toward unity. Let us launch an inclusive national project based on Palestine’s interests without yielding to enemy conditions. The Zionist enemy does not differentiate between Palestinian factions; it seeks only slaughtering all Palestinians.”
Abdulsalam emphasized: “We face a criminal enemy committing daily brutal atrocities against our people. But we believe firmly in God’s promise-we know this enemy will be destroyed as all oppressive regimes before have fallen.”
Concluding his remarks he stated: “The resistance will continue fueled by martyrs’ blood until victory promised by God comes true.On my father’s first martyrdom anniversary, his voice still echoes powerfully on every battlefield; his testament remains entrusted upon resistance fighters as their sacred duty. His blood testifies that Palestine can only be liberated through jihad-and only steadfastness will reclaim it fully.The true leaders and commanders never die-their bodies become bridges enabling our Islamic nation toward Jerusalem.”
