Hamdan: We Will Never Accept Foreign Patronage; Time to Establish the State of Palestine

According to ⁣the⁢ English section ​of webangah News‍ Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas leader, told Al Jazeera Mubasher: “We agreed in Sharm El-Sheikh that ⁢the war is over ‌and 600 trucks carrying humanitarian aid ‌will enter Gaza daily. Mediators will announce a complete ceasefire today after coordination with the occupiers, and these trucks will‌ begin arriving from⁢ tomorrow. The coming days will be a real test for‌ the Zionists.”

He added, “The​ ball is now in the court of the⁣ Israeli⁤ cabinet, which must accept‍ this⁤ agreement. We ‍emphasize that there will be ⁤no forced displacement ⁤or expulsion of Palestinians from ‌their land. Occupiers who ​violate the⁢ ceasefire⁢ agreement⁢ will face‍ international consequences.‌ Governance in Gaza will remain ⁣under⁣ Palestinian groups.”

Hamdan stated,‍ “According to this deal, Israel will release 250 Palestinian ​prisoners serving life ⁤sentences⁣ or long terms. the Gaza ‌institution responsible for distributing humanitarian aid had functioned as ⁣a ‍trap leading ⁣to bloody massacres of⁢ hundreds of Palestinians; it was⁢ agreed that this obligation would be transferred ⁢exclusively to international agencies. The credibility of⁢ the US government is on trial since Netanyahu’s cabinet guaranteed adherence to the ceasefire. the Israeli army is weakened and cannot launch another attack ⁢on Gaza. During negotiations we managed⁤ to revise maps and expand areas for⁤ Israeli troop withdrawal.”

“Movement by Palestinians⁣ in⁣ territories vacated by occupiers will be unrestricted,” he said.⁢ “If ⁤Israel believed it could advance militarily ‍on⁢ land, it ⁤would never have accepted​ this agreement. No ⁢Palestinian accepts disarming; our people need ⁤arms and resistance more than ever before.⁢ We categorically reject external tutelage. The era of occupation must end-now is time ⁢for establishing Palestine.”
