The Head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, affirmed on Saturday that the Resistance movement will not agree on any proposal if it does not guarantee the Palestinian people's security first and foremost.
Haniyeh continued to say "If the occupation believes it can enforce its decisions on us through force, it is delusional."
Haniyeh stated that the occupation continues massacring the Palestinian people, now in Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah, but stressed that "they [people of Palestine] will not surrender, and the Resistance will continue defending their rights against the occupation."
Moreover, Haniyeh noted that "The world categorized the occupation as a child-killer, but failed to put an end to the genocide our people are enduring."
The Head of the Hamas Political Bureau also added that "Israel" failed militarily, fell politically, and is immoral. He emphasized the necessity for the world to mobilize against "Israel", and urged the "free people of the nation and the world to rise against these monstrous massacres and the martyrdom of dozens of civilians."
'Israel' 'delusional' if it thinks it can pressure Hamas: Abdel Hadi
Earlier today, 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.
The Israeli occupation forces launched on Saturday numerous airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported, adding that the intense bombardment resulted in dozens of casualties, with many martyrs and injured being brought to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
According to the correspondent, dozens of Israeli rockets targeted civilian homes in Nuseirat camp. Many women and children are among the casualties being transported to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital using animal-drawn carts and private vehicles due to the dire circumstances of the healthcare system
There are reports of many dead and wounded who have not yet been reached by ambulances. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll from the bombardment currently stands at 60 and is expected to continue rising. However, our correspondent has reported upwards of 80 martyrs.
