After years of fighting, Hamas wins both on the battlefield and in peace talks

By Sadiq Abdulfatah

According to the initial news from the negotiations between the Zionist regime and the Palestinian Resistance Movement (Hamas), it indicates that the all-out resistance of the people of Gaza, the steadfastness of Hamas and Palestinian groups, and the powerful support of the members of the Resistance Front, convinced Israel that the military defeat of Hamas and domination of Gaza is not possible and that it must bid farewell to its unattainable dreams.

After two years of suffering defeat in the military, political, economic, international, and public opinion arenas, Zionism regime abandoned its main goal, which is the destruction of Hamas and the complete occupation of Gaza, and asked the United States to activate the negotiating table through its mediation. Once again, after its failure in the military aggression against Iran, Israel reached out to the United States to act to escape its defeat.

It is not without reason that Trump says that the US attack on Iran accelerated the peace talks, because if the US and Israel had won the aggression against Iran, they would not have thought about the negotiating table and would have continued the same process of militarization against the Palestinian people.

Hamas’ victory in the field came after a preemptive attack on the positions of the Zionist regime during Operation al-Aqsa Storm, and the military support of Palestinian liberation groups such as Islamic Jihad and members of the Resistance Front such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansarullah in Yemen, and the Iraqi Resistance caused active ports such as Eilat and Ashkelon to be completely inactive, and the regime’s economic infrastructure to be severely damaged.

In contrast, the Zionist regime, powerless in the field of battle, with the unwavering support of the United States launched violent attacks against civilians, genocide of children and women, and the martyrdom of more than 65,000 Palestinians, and became hated by the world. Finally, Israel agreed to withdraw from the Gaza Strip after two years of crimes in the Sharm el-Sheikh negotiations.

By implementing this agreement, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) will succeed in freeing 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 Gazans who have been detained by the Israeli occupying forces since the start of the war, and in the first phase of the agreement, it will free 20 living prisoners of the occupying regime.

It is also planned to send 400 aid trucks daily to the defenseless people of Gaza, and this number will gradually increase in the following stages. Hamas not only did not agree to disarm its military forces, but also emphasized in the issued statement its firm determination and that of other Palestinians to defend the right to self-determination and the formation of an independent Palestinian state.

Overall, the great resistance of the Palestinian people and the courage and bravery of the resistance fighters in the field and the comprehensive support of the people of the world for the resistance, caused Hamas to appear at the negotiating table with authority and defend the goals of the resistance with great bargaining power.

Now it is the duty of the international community to continue to defend the Palestinian people and oblige the Zionist occupiers to fully implement the agreement.

Hamas and the Resistance Front won in the field and diplomacy, and it is appropriate to honor the memory and names of great martyrs such as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh, etc., who played an important role in the sustainability of the resistance and the defeat of the enemy.
