Upon meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in Doha, Qatar on Wednesday, the head of the Palestinian Resistance, Ismail Haniyeh stated that the IOF's aerial, naval, and ground attacks in Gaza are unprecedented, but the Palestinian Resistance stands "firm on the battlefield".

"The Zionist regime and its allies thought that they could eliminate the resistance this way and force it to raise the white flag," he noted, adding: "The resistance, however, has still stood firm and steadfast on the battlefield and inflicted heavy damage on the Zionist regime after 75 days of Israeli crimes and mass murders as part of its scorched-earth policy."

Haniyeh hailed Palestine for its resilience while paying a price for doing so, but it continues to resist even though "Israel's" genocide intensifies.

During the meeting, Haniyeh thanked Amir-Abdollahian for keeping up with the developments in Gaza, as the Iranian diplomat has already made four visits to Qatar since the beginning of the war in October.

A source close to Hamas told AFP that the Palestinian diplomat is due in Egypt on Wednesday for discussions on a renewed Gaza ceasefire, where he is due to hold talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel and others.

The discussions will be "on stopping the aggression and the war to prepare an agreement for the release of prisoners (and) the end of the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip," the source indicated on condition of anonymity.

Denying defeat

Earlier, Israeli occupation President Isaac Herzog on Tuesday announced that "Israel" is preparing for a new temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to secure the release of remaining captives.

This comes as the Israeli-led genocide in Gaza has so far resulted in the martyrdom of over 19,400 Palestinians, with over 52,000 reported injured.

Israeli occupation Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made another racist statement on Monday, calling for the daily execution of the longest-serving Palestinian prisoners affiliated with Hamas for every day an Israeli captive is not released.

He called for an end to negotiations with Hamas, advocating for a decisive approach. He stated that if Israeli hostages were not released daily, a "member of the elite" would be executed.

Ben-Gvir added that in order to defeat Hamas, there should be no transfer of funds in the name of the Palestinian Authority or any other entity, and entry of aid trucks into the Gaza Strip should be prohibited.
