BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

He emphasized "the unity of the Palestinian people and their factions" as "the foundation of Resistance," as proven in the Battle of the Fury of Jenin, in which various factions in the city cooperated to defend Jenin from the Israeli occupation's = incursion. Al-Hindi confirmed that during this battle, the Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade shared weapons and funds with fighters of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and other factions.

In his interview with Al Mayadeen, Al-Hindi asserted that the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, "proved that it can deter and confront the occupation," adding that its military capabilities in Gaza and the West Bank have vastly improved.

Al-Hindi believed that "resistance in Palestine has become an individual, collective, and factional decision," adding that "Al-Quds Brigades are at the forefront of the confrontation." He further noted that "the battle [to free Palestine] is long and ongoing, and we realize that the price for ending the occupation in the West Bank is high, but we also believe that victory is on our side."

Al-Hindi, in his exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen, referred to a promise made by officials in the Palestinian Authority to release detained Resistance fighters in preparation for Abbas's visit to the Jenin camp. However, this promise, he said, was not fulfilled.

He announced that the PIJ will not participate in the meeting of the secretaries-general in Cairo unless the PA releases the detained resistance fighters, adding that "Palestinian factions are making efforts to bring the points of views of [the Palestinian] Islamic Jihad and the [Palestinian] Authority closer together to ensure the success [of a possible] meeting"

Moreover, the Deputy Secretary-General that the PIJ continues to communicate with its counterparts in the Fatah movement in hopes securing a release of the detainees.

He also revealed that the head of the General Intelligence Service of the PA, Major General Majid Faraj, called the Secretary-General of the PIJ, Ziyad Al-Nakhalah, but they did not meet in person.

Al-Hindi pointed out that the PIJ "has made various efforts to bring Fatah and Hamas closer, further stating that the movement welcomes any rapprochement between them.

Internal Israeli crisis to the benefit of Palestine

Regarding the ongoing political crisis in "Israel," Al-Hindi said that the occupation is facing significant division between the Easterner and WesternerJews [Mizrahi and Ashkenazi jews], which concerns the United States.

Al-Hindi predicted that the phenomenon of reverse migration in "Israel" is bound to increase due to the turbulent situation in the occupation's society. This turbulence and changes on the administrative levels, along with other developments in the region, especially the Iran-Saudi reconciliation, come in favor of the Palestinian people, according to Al-Hindi.

The Deputy Secreatry-General asserted that reunifying political opponents in "Israel" is difficult, and if Netanyahu considers launching an aggression on Palestinian cities to divert attention from the internal Israeli crisis, the Resistance in Gaza and the West Bank will respond and deter the occupation.
