In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, Ahmad Abdel Hadi, said that the Israeli occupation "utilized all its criminal power, from artillery to its Air Force, to carry out its massacre in Nuseirat."
Abdel Hadi ascertained that "If the enemy thought it could pressure our leadership before they submit their negotiation proposal, then it is delusional." He then reiterated that Netanyahu and his extremist coalition are prolonging the war for their personal interests.
He also noted that Hamas cannot abandon its demands, and that "What the occupation could not achieve in confrontations, it also cannot achieve in politics."
On the state of the occupation, Abdel Hadi affirmed that there was an internal crisis in "Israel" after its apparatus failed to achieve any objective throughout its aggression, adding that "There is a madness and craze in the occupation, and it does not have any plan other than proceeding with its massacres."
Commenting on the Israeli claims and talks of retrieving the captives, Abdel Hadi said he was not concerned with the Israeli narrative but was rather waiting for the Resistance's narrative. At the same time, the Hamas official said "If it were true, then retrieving four captives after eight months does not count as an achievement."
Abdel Hadi then stated that Israeli deterrence collapsed and shattered when its "criminal reality was exposed".
