Hamas Politburo member Osama Hamdan expressed gratitude to Russia and China for their support of the “resistance” in the international arena during a speech on July 5. According to Hamdan, the next stage of Operation Al-Aqsa’s Deluge will be an uprising in the West Bank. He stated that Israel’s existence will come to an end, but Jews will have the option to remain in “Palestine” either as citizens of a Palestinian state or as foreigners, subject to the laws of that state.
Hamas maintains direct contact with Russia and China and has asked them to intervene and provide international guarantees. Hamdan highlighted that these countries understand the strength of the resistance and can count on it. He also mentioned that Russia and China offer Hamas protection at the UN, creating a barrier that prevents the United States from harming the resistance on the international stage.
In addition to his political comments, Hamdan also made various unrelated references and links that seemed inserted randomly into his speech. The exact nature of these references is unclear, but they may suggest that Hamas has other interests beyond its struggle against Israel.
