The consequences of Al-Aqsa storm and the latest situation of the Gaza war on the eve of Quds Day

Mehr News Agency, Bin Group International: Quds Day 1403 came while 6 months have passed since the Al-Aqsa storm. The al-Aqsa storm against the Zionist regime and the regime’s six-month war against Gaza have had important consequences, and these consequences depict the situation of Palestine and the Zionist regime on the eve of Quds Day.

October 15, 1402 will remain in the political history of the West Asian region. On this day, the fighters of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) attacked the Zionist regime and inflicted the heaviest defeat in the 75-year history of this fake regime, a defeat that the supreme leader of the revolution called “an irreparable defeat”. After this great defeat, the Zionist regime started its barbaric attacks against the people of Gaza, attacks that have resulted in about 110,000 martyrs and wounded. Six months after this war and on the eve of Quds Day in 1403, the important question is raised, what were the achievements of the Al-Aqsa storm? In response to this question, the following points can be mentioned.

1. The line of invalidation of the myth of the invincibility of the Zionist army

The most important consequence of the Al-Aqsa storm was that the myth of the invincibility of the Zionist army was destroyed. For more than 7 decades, the Zionist regime has been pretending that it has the strongest army in the West Asia region and one of the strongest armies in the world, as well as one of the strongest intelligence organizations in the world, with the support of Western media. Al-Aqsa storm proved the invalidity of this idea. More than 1,500 Zionists were killed in the Al-Aqsa storm operation, and more than 550 Israeli soldiers were killed during the 6-month war. In addition, the intelligence agencies of the Zionist regime failed to discover the large operation of Storm Al-Aqsa, which was planned months ago. Another point is that the intelligence agencies of the occupying Jerusalem regime have not been able to find the location of the Zionist prisoners held by the Hamas movement 6 months after the Al-Aqsa storm, and this is another failure for the occupying Jerusalem regime.

2. Hamas

‘s great victory

Another important consequence of the Al-Aqsa storm is the record of a great victory for the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). Considering that the Zionist regime on the one hand did not succeed in freeing its prisoners who are with Hamas and on the other hand it did not succeed in its alleged goal of destroying Hamas, it can be said that Hamas was victorious in this war. However, another reason for the victory of Hamas can be mentioned, that despite the genocide carried out by the Zionist regime and despite the heavy propaganda against the Hamas movement, polls indicate that more than 70% of the people of Gaza are from the Al-Aqsa storm operation. And they also support Hamas.

According to the poll conducted by the Palestine Political Research and Survey Center, which is a relatively secular center close to the Palestinian Authority, 70% of Palestinians are satisfied with the performance of Hamas and the popularity of the Hamas movement in Gaza increased after the war. According to the same survey, 71% of people declared that the Al-Aqsa storm operation against the Zionist regime was a right action and defended this action. This victory of Hamas was achieved in a situation where the war of this movement with the Zionist regime is an unequal war. Therefore, the meaning of this victory is beyond the classical military criteria. The supreme leader of the revolution in the meeting with Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political office of Hamas, stated that what caused the defeat of the Zionist regime in achieving its military goals, “The historical patience of the people of Gaza is against the crimes and atrocities of the Zionist regime.”

3. The return of the Palestinian issue to the first issue of the world

Another one of the most important consequences of Al-Aqsa storm operation and The six months of the Zionist regime’s war against Gaza destroyed the perception that the Palestinian issue was over. Al-Aqsa storm once again raised the issue of Palestine as the most important issue in the world. In recent years, especially in the form of the plan to normalize relations between the Arab countries and the Zionist regime, efforts were made to turn the Palestinian issue into a marginal issue and leave it out of the context of the developments in the Islamic world. Al-Aqsa storm and six months of genocide by the Zionist regime in Gaza caused not only the issue of Palestine to become the first issue of the Islamic world, but also the first issue of global public opinion and even the world system. Demonstrations of several hundreds of thousands of people in America, England, France and Germany in support of Palestine are examples of this issue. Supreme Leader in the meeting with Ismail Haniyeh, describing The historical patience of the people of Gaza described it as a “huge phenomenon” that “truly gave honor to Islam and made the issue of Palestine the first issue of the world despite the enemy’s will.” “

4. Highlighting the internal differences of the Zionist regime

Al-Aqsa storm and six months of war against Gaza caused Internal differences in the occupied lands have become prominent. These differences existed in previous years as well. 5 parliamentary elections were held in 4 years from 2019 to 2023, but Netanyahu’s cabinet was formed with the participation of extremists. The war in Gaza has made the extremist nature of Netanyahu’s cabinet and the internal differences in the cabinet and in the war cabinet and in the political scene of the occupied territories more prominent and public. Benny Gantz’s recent trip from The members of the Zionist regime’s war cabinet to America and then Britain is also one of the topics that shows internal differences in the occupied territories; Gantz has become the main contender for prime ministership after Netanyahu, and Joe Biden’s government and Israel’s European allies are very interested in his prime ministership. In response to his uncoordinated visit, Netanyahu tried to prevent the allocation of government facilities to Gantz and the cooperation of the embassies of the Zionist regime in the United States and the United Kingdom with him, thus telling him that Israel has only one prime minister. In the latest case of internal disputes, Gideon Sa’er, a member of the Zionist regime’s cabinet, announced his resignation from the Israeli cabinet. With Saar’s separation from Netanyahu’s cabinet, the prelude to the collapse of the cabinet has also begun.

5. Coherence and integrity of resistance

One ​​of the most important consequences of Al-Aqsa storm against the regime Zionism and six months of war against Gaza showed the unity and integrity of the axis of resistance. On the one hand, the resistance actors tried to prevent the spread of war in the West Asian region, and on the other hand, they took important actions against the Zionist regime in support of Gaza. Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Yemen’s Ansarullah are two important actors of the axis of resistance that officially entered the war against the Zionist regime. This action of Hezbollah and Ansarullah most of all shows the unity and continuity of the axis of resistance and also shows that the resistance is not limited to geographical borders. background-color:white”> “Resistance Front unveiled its real situation. Maybe neither the Americans, nor the Westerners, nor the governments of the region, did not know the power of resistance and the ability to resist in this region as it really existed and exists; Now they understand.”

6. America’s defeat

Another important consequence is that the Al-Aqsa storm against the Zionist regime and its six-month war against Gaza failed. It has also followed America. America has sided with the Zionist regime since October 7 and defined the genocide of this regime in Gaza as legitimate defense. While US President Joe Biden personally visited the occupied territories, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also visited occupied Palestine 7 times in the last 6 months. On the one hand, these trips showed America’s support for the Zionist regime’s genocide in Gaza, and on the other hand, it also showed the difference between America and the Zionist regime regarding the Gaza war. The United States vetoed the proposed resolution in the Security Council to stop the war in Gaza 3 times, which was a “moral scandal” for the American government. The recent resolution that was approved and the United States abstained from voting on it, not only named Hamas, but also called for an end to the war against Gaza, and the atmosphere of the Security Council meeting was completely against the Zionist regime and the United States. In this regard, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated in his speech on the first day of April: “America took the worst possible situation in the Gaza issue; America chose the worst possible situation in the Gaza region; He did something that was hated all over the world. These people who demonstrate in the streets of London and Paris and other European countries and the United States in favor of Palestine are actually declaring their hatred for America; America was hated in the world; He was hated in the region, he became hated 10 times more.”
