The new head of Hamas resistance movement’s political bureau emphasized in his first speech the continuation of the path of resistance and the pursuit of the second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza.
The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has elected Khalil al-Hayya as the new head of the movement's political bureau, succeeding Yahya Sinwar.
Khalil al-Hayya, the Hamas leader in Gaza, said the movement will only relinquish its weapons once Israel’s occupation has ended, explaining that the arms would then be transferred to a future Palestinian state authority responsible for governing Gaza.
Senior member of the Hamas Resistance Movement Khalil al-Hayya said that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (Al-Aqsa Storm) was launched in response to attempts aimed at erasing the Palestinian cause and reshaping the region under a “new Middle East” plan.
