Hamas official: Everyone should prepare for major battle for Al-Aqsa

• 

The head of the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Al-Sinwar, saluted Saturday all the people who celebrated International Al-Quds Day, which affirmed that harming Al-Quds is "forbidden".

During a speech, Al-Sinwar pointed out that this nation always shows its strength at every real challenge, especially when it is related to Al-Aqsa Mosque, stressing that the results of Seif Al-Quds (Sword of Al-Quds) Battle were much greater than expected and that the sword shall never be sheathed until full liberation.

He underscored that the scenes showing Israeli occupation soldiers storming Al-Qibli prayer hall are not to be repeated.

Al-Aqsa is in danger

The Hamas leader called for preparing for a major battle for Al-Aqsa in light of the continuous violations committed by the Israeli occupation violations, affirming the Resistance's readiness for a religious battle if "Israel" wants to turn it that way.

Al-Sinwar warned that Al-Aqsa Mosque is in danger, highlighting that those stationed in the Mosque prevented Israeli settlers from presenting sacrifices inside it.

He underlined that harming Al-Aqsa and Al-Quds means a religious regional war, adding that the Resistance is ready for such wars and will not hesitate to undergo them.

World turning blind eye to Israeli violations

The head of the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip considered that the world is turning a blind eye to "Israel's" racist policies and violation of international law and United Nations resolutions.

Al-Sinwar said the Israeli fascist racist entity violated the sanctity of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Al-Sinwar added that the religious regional war will re-shape the world and everyone should intervene to prevent it, stressing that Al-Quds Axis will not hesitate to carry out its duty toward all resistance factions.

Opening a sea route with the Gaza Strip

He called on every Palestinian to prepare their weapons and be ready for a battle, asking Palestinians in the diaspora to prepare to crawl to the Palestinian borders in order to change this bitter reality, stressing that the diaspora people have a great role in influencing the world opinion on the Palestinian cause.

The leader addressed the Palestinians in the '48 occupied territories, stressing that their role in the confrontation against the Israeli occupation is the greatest.

Al-Sinwar also called on the people of the West Bank not to wait to expel settlers before the end of this year, stressing that one-man solo operations have proven their feasibility.

He added that in the coming period, the Resistance will start coordinating with Al-Quds Axis to open the sea route with Gaza Strip.

In regard to the prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, Al-Sinwar emphasized that the Resistance in Gaza has done a lot for the prisoners' liberation, indicating that Hamas has taken a decision to empty the occupation's prisons of Palestinian and Arab prisoners.
