Below is a summary of what Hamdan had to say:
• The Israeli occupation will fail despite the escalation of its crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds – occupied East Jerusalem.
• Gaza was and will remain the graveyard of its invaders and occupiers.
• We renew our position, which strongly rejects Israeli plans that aim to expel our people outside of Gaza.
• The United States is a partner in the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza.
• The American attitude towards the Palestinian struggle, in general, is predicated on provocations and aims at destabilizing the region.
• We call on all the free people in The United States to deny the Biden Administration their votes in the next elections.
• The world has seen the difference between the way Al-Qassam Brigades treated its captives and the way the Israeli army treat Palestinian hostages and captives.
• The obstinacy of the Israeli occupation was the reason why the mediation efforts were derailed.
• We call on the escalation of all kinds of resistance against the Israeli enemy.
• We send a special greeting to our people of Yemen for all of their efforts in support of the Palestinian people.
• We call on all Arabs and Muslims to send civil and official delegations to Gaza to break the siege.
