<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p>The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, said that the 38th
anniversary of its founding comes amid the passage of more than two
years of a \u201cbarbaric aggression and a war of genocide, starvation, and
unprecedented destruction\u201d targeting more than two million besieged
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, alongside systematic crimes in the West
Bank and Jerusalem, and plans to annex land, expand settlements, and
Judaize Al-Aqsa Mosque.</p>
<p>In a statement on Sunday, the Movement added that the Palestinian
people confronted this aggression \u201cin unity with their valiant
resistance,\u201d with steadfast will and legendary resilience. It saluted
the steadfastness of Palestinians across all arenas, especially in the
Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jerusalem, the lands of 1948, and refugee
camps and the diaspora, wishing recovery to the wounded and freedom to
prisoners and detainees in the Israeli occupation\u2019s prisons.</p>
<p>Hamas paid tribute to the souls of the martyrs and founding leaders,
foremost among them Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, as well as the martyred leaders
of \u201cAl-Aqsa Flood\u201d: Ismail Haneyya, Yahya Sinwar, Saleh al-Arouri, and
Mohammed Deif, in addition to all martyrs of the Movement, the
Palestinian people, and the nation.</p>
<p>The Movement affirmed that \u201cAl-Aqsa Flood\u201d constituted a towering
milestone in the path of struggle toward freedom and independence, and
will remain a firm landmark marking a true beginning for repelling the
occupation and its demise. It stated that Israel has failed, despite two
years of war, to achieve its objectives, succeeding only in targeting
civilians and human life, with direct American support.</p>
<p>Hamas stressed its full commitment to the ceasefire agreement,
accusing Israel of continuing to violate it daily and evade its
obligations. It called on the mediators and the US administration to
pressure the Israeli government to implement the terms of the agreement,
halt attacks, open crossings, especially the Rafah crossing, and
intensify the entry of humanitarian aid.</p>
<p>The Movement also renewed its categorical rejection of any form of
guardianship or mandate over the Gaza Strip or any part of the
Palestinian territories, warning against attempts at displacement and
re-engineering the Strip according to occupation plans.</p>
<p>It affirmed that the Palestinian people alone decide who governs
them, and that they have the legitimate right to resist, liberate their
land, and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its
capital.</p>
<p>Hamas called on the Arab and Islamic countries, governments, peoples,
and organizations, to take urgent action to pressure Israel to stop its
aggression, open crossings, and implement relief, shelter, and
reconstruction plans. It held Israel responsible for crimes of genocide
and starvation, describing them as \u201csystematic and documented,\u201d
asserting they will not lapse with time, and calling on the
International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to
continue pursuing its leaders.</p>
<p>The Movement reaffirmed its steadfastness to its principles since its
founding and its loyalty to the blood of the martyrs and the sacrifices
of prisoners, until liberation and return, emphasizing that Jerusalem
and Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain the main core of the conflict, and that
there is no legitimacy or sovereignty for the occupation over them.</p>
<p>Regarding prisoners, Hamas said that the crimes of the Israeli
government against them constitute a sadistic approach and a systematic
policy of revenge, affirming that their cause will remain at the top of
its priorities, condemning the international silence over their
suffering.</p>
<p>It also stressed that the Palestinian people\u2019s right to resistance in
all its forms is a legitimate right guaranteed by the international
law, calling for the achievement of national unity and the building of
Palestinian consensus on a unified struggle strategy to confront plans
aimed at liquidating the cause.</p>
<p>The Movement considered that Israel\u2019s war of genocide has exposed a
\u201crogue entity\u201d that poses a threat to regional security and stability
and to international peace, necessitating international action to
isolate it, halt its terror, and end its occupation. At the same time,
it praised the support of resistance forces and free people around the
world, as well as the global popular movement in solidarity with the
Palestinian cause, calling for its escalation until the occupation ends
and freedom and independence are achieved.</p>
