The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, announced a ceasefire agreement, bringing an end to more than 15 months of relentless aggression on the Gaza Strip. The movement hailed the agreement as a victory for the Palestinian people and their steadfast resistance in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Hamas described the ceasefire as the fruit of the "legendary resilience" demonstrated by the people of Gaza and their courageous resistance against the Israeli occupation. It emphasized that the agreement represents a critical milestone in the ongoing struggle for liberation and the right of return for Palestinians.

In a statement, Hamas underscored the humanitarian urgency of the agreement, stating it was driven by a deep sense of responsibility toward the people of Gaza. The movement expressed hope that the deal would halt Israeli aggression, end the bloodshed, and stop the massacres and genocidal policies that the population has endured.

Hamas extended its gratitude to the global community for its solidarity with Gaza, particularly acknowledging the support of Arab and Islamic nations. It also commended international efforts that exposed the crimes of the Israeli occupation and contributed to ending the aggression.

Special recognition was given to mediators, specifically Qatar and Egypt, for their pivotal roles in facilitating the agreement and ensuring its success.

The ceasefire agreement is the result of the legendary resilience of our great Palestinian people and our valiant resistance in the Gaza Strip, which sustained for over 15 months.

The agreement to halt the aggression on Gaza is an achievement for our people, our resistance, our Ummah, and the free people of the world. It marks a pivotal milestone in the struggle against the enemy, paving the way toward achieving our people's goals of liberation and return.

This agreement stems from our responsibility toward our steadfast and patient people in Gaza, aiming to stop the Zionist aggression, end the bloodshed, and put a halt to the massacres and genocidal war they have endured.

We express our gratitude and appreciation for all the honorable official and popular stances that stood in solidarity with Gaza, supported our people, exposed the occupation's crimes, and worked to end the aggression—at the Arab, Islamic, and international levels. Special appreciation goes to the mediators who exerted significant efforts to reach this agreement, particularly Qatar and Egypt.

Al-Hayya praises Palestinian people

Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas' leader in the Gaza Strip praised the efforts of the Palestinian people, reflecting on their steadfastness and the significant regional and international support in the ongoing struggle for liberation.

"In this historic moment, we express our pride and honor for our people in Gaza," said al-Hayya.

He paid tribute to the sacrifices of those who lost their lives, stating, "We salute the convoys of martyrs from all factions who fell in the battle to defend al-Quds and al-Aqsa." Al-Hayya emphasized the transformative nature of the recent conflict, noting, "The al-Aqsa Flood operation marked a critical turning point in our cause, and its effects will not end with the battle's conclusion."

Reflecting on the events of October 7, he declared, "What the al-Qassam Brigades accomplished struck the enemy's entity fatally, and this will remain etched in history." He added a stern warning to those responsible for aggression against Palestinians: "Our people will not forget those who participated in the genocide. We will neither forget nor forgive."

Al-Hayya commended the strength and determination of Palestinian fighters, saying, "Our fighters carried out operations against the enemy with unparalleled will and strength. The enemy will never see a moment of weakness from us."

Highlighting regional solidarity, al-Hayya praised Lebanon's sacrifices, noting, "The Lebanese people have made great sacrifices and shown immense patience in defending and supporting our Palestinian cause [...] Hezbollah has offered hundreds of martyrs, including its leaders and fighters, led by the honorable Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, on the path to al-Quds."

He also expressed gratitude to Ansar Allah in Yemen, calling them "brothers in truth who overcame geographical distance and changed the equation of war and the region."

Addressing international support, al-Hayya thanked Iran for its contributions, stating, "We thank the Islamic Republic of Iran, which supported our resistance and people, engaged in the battle, and struck at the heart of the enemy." He also lauded the Iraqi resistance, which he said, "broke all barriers to support Palestine and its resistance."

Al-Hayya extended gratitude to Palestinians in the West Bank and the occupied territories, saying, "We thank our people and the revolutionary youth in the West Bank, especially in the heroic Jenin camp, al-Quds, and the occupied interior." He also acknowledged the role of mediators, expressing "deep appreciation for the tireless efforts and rounds of negotiations they undertook."

He recognized the solidarity of nations such as Turkiye, South Africa, Algeria, Russia, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Belgium, Spain, and Ireland, praising their honorable positions.

"We now face a new phase in our resilient Gaza: a phase of construction, solace, removing the effects of aggression, and reconstruction," he said.

He concluded with a reaffirmation of the Palestinian struggle's ultimate goal: "al-Quds and Al-Aqsa will remain our compass and the symbol of our jihad and resistance until liberation and the establishment of an independent state."
