️BREAKING: Press Statement Issued by Hamas regarding the Arab Summit:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) welcomes the convening of the extraordinary Arab Summit in Cairo to address the dangers facing the Palestinian cause amid ongoing Zionist aggression and the genocide and displacement plans targeting our people in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.
The Arab Summit marks an advanced stage of Arab and Islamic alignment with the just Palestinian cause.
We appreciate the speeches of leaders at the extraordinary Arab Summit in Cairo, which unanimously rejected the occupation’s plans to displace our people, opposed annexation and resettlement projects, and affirmed support for our legitimate rights to freedom and self-determination.
We value the Arab stance against attempts to displace our people or erase their national cause under any pretext, considering it an honorable position and a historic message that the Palestinian Nakba will not be repeated. With unified Arab support, our people can thwart these conspiracies.
We welcome the Gaza reconstruction plan adopted by the Arab Summit in its final statement and call for all necessary measures to ensure its success. We also appreciate Egypt’s efforts in preparing for an international conference on Gaza reconstruction.
We have repeatedly affirmed our support for what benefits our Palestinian people by removing the impacts of aggression and genocide targeting our land and people. We supported the decision to form the Community Support Committee to follow up on relief, reconstruction, and Gaza management as an integral part of the Palestinian state.
The Summit’s call to implement the Gaza ceasefire agreement as signed provides political backing to the Palestinian people and pressures the occupation to honor the agreement.
We stress the need to hold the criminal enemy accountable to its commitments under the ceasefire agreement. We call for unified and practical Arab steps to enforce the agreement, facilitate aid and shelter, and proceed with the second phase of negotiations.
The Summit’s call for a political and commercial boycott of the occupation represents a highly effective strategic path, further isolating the entity and forcing it to comply with international and humanitarian law.
Amid the escalating Zionist campaign to target and Judaize Al-Aqsa Mosque and the increasing settler incursions and Talmudic rituals in its courtyards, we urge Arab leaders to take decisive action against these violations. Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first Qibla of Muslims, is a red line, and any harm to it angers all Muslims worldwide.
We welcome the Arab Summit’s emphasis on building Palestinian national institutions that reflect our people’s aspirations for freedom and independence through legislative and presidential elections as soon as possible.
We call on our Arab nations to continue supporting the steadfastness of our Palestinian people against the criminal enemy and to counter its expansionist ambitions and domination plans over Palestine and the entire region.
We remain loyal to our national cause and our people’s rights until the establishment of the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, by the will of Allah.
