<p>DOHA, (PIC)</p>
<p>The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, responded Thursday to
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas\u2019s speech before the United
Nations General Assembly, affirming that Palestinian resistance is a
\u201cnational and moral responsibility, deriving its legitimacy from our
steadfast Palestinian people and their natural right to resist
occupation, as recognized by international laws and conventions.\u201d</p>
<p>Hamas categorically rejected what it described as Abbas\u2019s \u201calignment
with the false Zionist narrative,\u201d asserting that accusing the
resistance of targeting civilians is an attempt to distort its image.</p>
<p>The Movement underlined that \u201call attempts to impose guardianship
over our people and their will are doomed to fail,\u201d adding that Abbas\u2019s
declaration that Hamas will have no role in governance constitutes \u201can
infringement on the inherent right of our Palestinian people to
determine their own destiny and choose their leadership, and an
unacceptable submission to external agendas and projects.\u201d</p>
<p>Hamas emphasized that \u201cthe weapons of resistance are untouchable as long as the occupation remains entrenched on our land.\u201d</p>
<p>It condemned Abbas\u2019s call to surrender arms, especially \u201cin light of
the genocidal war being waged against our people in Gaza, and the brutal
crimes and savage assaults committed by armed settlers and the
occupation army against unarmed civilians in the occupied West Bank.\u201d</p>
<p>Hamas reiterated that the only path to safeguarding the national
cause and confronting the occupation\u2019s plans to \u201cexterminate and
displace our people in Gaza, annex the West Bank, and Judaize Jerusalem
and al-Aqsa,\u201d lies in \u201cnational unity and consensus around a
comprehensive resistance program to confront the criminal Zionist
occupation, until our people\u2019s aspirations for liberation, return, and
the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital
are fulfilled.\u201d</p>
<p>The statement concluded by affirming that \u201cour steadfast people are
the source of legitimacy, and the weapons of resistance are a red line
that cannot be compromised.\u201d</p>
<p>Since October 7, 2023, Israeli occupation forces, backed by the
United States and Western countries, have been waging a devastating war
in Gaza, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of approximately 233,000
Palestinians to date. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in
Gaza, 442 Palestinians, including 147 children, have died from
starvation.</p>
