AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, the ceremony commemorating the 40th day of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom, and the commemoration of the martyred leaders of the Resistance Front, entitled “Nasrallah’s Beginning,” was held by the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in the Holy Shrine of Imam Khomeini (r.a.), in cooperation with some international organizations and seminary institutions, participating enthusiastic young people, university students, clerics, and international cultural activists residing in Iran.
In this ceremony, Khaled Qodoumi, the representative of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, in Iran said, “We see a chain of martyrs that starts from the advent of Islam with Hamza (a.s.), (Holy Prophet’s paternal uncle) and then Imam Hussain (a.s.) and continued until the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Martyrs like Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, Ismail Haniyeh, the lord of the martyrs of the Resistance Axis Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, and Yahya Sinwar, are martyrs of the path of Al-Aqsa Mosque. This caravan continues and these martyrs are divine proofs for us. They are role models for us to be able to move on the path of human dignity, the independence of Islamic countries, and the liberation of our sacred things, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
“Gaza is Palestine’s heart, and the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation was formed from there; an operation that established new rules and history. The Al-Aqsa Flood Operation announced to the world that the aggression of the Zionist regime is enough. This operation shows a change in the Resistance Thought. We want to change the current situation. So much so that the future situation does not have any similarity with the current situation. Al-Aqsa Flood Operation changed everything that was before October 7, 2023. All political talk, including the 1967 border and the two-state solution, cannot be raised as long as the Al-Aqsa Flood is ongoing. This is a real change. The compass of change is Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Holy Quds,” he continued.
The representative of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, in Iran, added, “The only thing we expect from the world is to understand that the Al-Aqsa Flood will destroy the main base of the Western project, which was created in the heart of the Islamic world at the beginning of the last century under the name of the Zionist regime. We are the Resistance, and our response to those who want to take our weapons is “هیهات من الذلّه” (No to humiliation.) We never lay down our weapons until Palestine is fully liberated. These words are not based on feelings. Martyr Yahya Sinwar was not a person, but a school. The way this martyr lived is important. He did not consider prison as suffering but as a stage in life of every struggle. During his imprisonment in Zionist prisons, he was a writer, leader, politician, diplomat, and soldier.”
Regarding the prison time of martyr Yahya Sinwar, Qodoumi said, “This martyr sought to break the walls of the prison. During his prison time, he tried to escape from prison three times. After being released, martyr Yahya Sinwar did not return home but asked his brothers in the Hamas movement to define his new duty to him. With his effort, action, religion, and faith, he joined the caravan of the figures. He was inspired by the Quranic verses and the Prophet’s (p.b.u.h) tradition to walk towards the freedom of Palestine.”
“With the grace of these bloods, the Palestinian nation and martyr Yahya Sinwar are the victors. The recent war in Gaza has left 52,000 martyrs and missing people, 70% of whom are women and children. Thanks to the blessings of the blood of these martyrs, this historical epic happened, and change is coming. Americans and Zionists committed genocide in Gaza. It is a misconception that the Americans only help the Zionists. Rather, it is more accurate to say that the Americans are the masters of the Zionists in genocide. Zionist Americans are in the minority in the world. Only four countries, the United States, Britain, Germany, and France support the Zionists in the genocide of the Palestinian people, and the rest of the world opposes this genocide. It is an important issue that must be considered,” he continued.
“The Al-Aqsa Flood was a victories operation on the battlefield. Right after Yahya Sinwar’s martyrdom, Palestinian resistance fighters launched an operation in Jabalia camp. This camp is small, and the Zionists have attacked it many times. However, the resistance fighters continue to operate there and every day they kill and injure several Zionist soldiers in the there. Look at the South of Lebanon; Lebanese Hezbollah fighters have become stronger after the martyrdom of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah,” added the representative of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, in Iran.
“The political solution is to achieve something that the martyrs’ families and patient and resistant people want. The resistance of these people changed the world’s view. Now even in Latin America, people talk against Israel. The assassination of our leaders makes us more determined. Our political solution is based on imposing defeat on the enemy. Those who have the right to make decisions in Gaza after the end of the war are the people of Gaza. The presence of any occupier in the land of Gaza will not be acceptable under any circumstances,” he said in the end.
