Hain zuzen, recently designated maximum responsible of the political arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamás), Jalil al Haya, has reaffirmed the group's commitment to the unity of all the Palestinian people, in a context where the recovery of the Gaza Strip "does not depend on exclusivity or exclusion".
In his first public intervention after taking over this week the leadership of the political area of Hamás, Al Haya wanted to send a message of rapprochement to those, both within Palestinian society and in other countries, who are truly committed to ending the Israeli aggression and restoring normalcy to the Strip.
"We will continue working in all directions until we free them from harm and suffering, and restore to Gaza the dignified life that corresponds to its beloved, proud, and patient people," stated the Hamás leader, according to the Palestinian newspaper 'Filastin' reported this Wednesday.
"We extend our hand to everyone, as the current stage does not depend on exclusivity or exclusion," added Al Haya, who also called on the international community, and especially on the countries involved in mediation efforts, to maintain pressure on Israel to fulfill the commitments made and cease its offensives.
In this regard, he defended the opening of an internal Palestinian dialogue aimed at reconfiguring its national institutions, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which has been in a deep legitimacy crisis for years despite being the entity recognized on the international stage.
Al Haya emphasized that this renewal of the PLO must be based on "democratic foundations and a national consensus that guarantees the full political participation" of all factions and currents in decision-making, something that, in his opinion, would allow putting an end to the suffering that the Palestinian population endures.
On the other hand, he called on the United Nations and the rest of the international community to assume their legal and humanitarian responsibilities regarding the civilians of the Gaza Strip and to demand that Israel be held accountable for the war crimes attributed to it, especially those committed in recent years.
The appointment of Al Haya as the new leader of the political arm of Hamás comes after the assassination of Ismail Haniye in an attack carried out in July 2024 in Tehran and the death of Yahya Sinwar in an Israeli operation during the offensive on Gaza.
Al Haya, irailaren 2025ean Dohari egindako israeldar erasoa gainditu zuenak, orain arte mugimenduaren politika gailurreko 'bigarren' postua betetzen zuen, 2024ko urrian bere aurreko Salé al Aruri, Beiruteko beste israeldar bonbardaketa batean, hil zutenetik.
Gazako agintariek asteazken honetan 73.300 baino gehiago igo dituzte, 2023ko urriaren 7ko erasoei jarraiki israeldar ofentsibaren hasieratik, horien artean 1.180 hildako, 2025eko urrian su-etena indarrean sartu zenetik.
