❗️Excerpts from Hamas's statement on the 78th anniversary of the Nakba:

  • "On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba: There is no legitimacy and no sovereignty for the occupation over the land of Palestine, no matter how much time passes or how great the sacrifices; we call on the world to criminalize the occupation, work to stop its terrorism against our land, our people, and our holy sites, and enable our people to attain their legitimate rights and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as Its capital."

  • "For 78 years, the great Palestinian people have remained steadfast on their land, holding firmly to their rights and national principles, defending their identity and holy sites, and presenting at every stage of the conflict with the enemy the finest examples of heroism, sacrifice, patience, jihad, and selflessness. All attempts by the occupation, despite the passing years, to reshape Palestinian consciousness, undermine resistance, erase the cause, and consign it to oblivion have ended in complete failure."

  • "The crime of displacing our people from their land 78 years ago, under the weight of massacres and systematic terrorism, was a horrific and unprecedented crime in modern history and a blatant violation of all values, laws, conventions, and norms. It is the same policy that the fascist occupation government continues to carry out today in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and occupied Jerusalem before the eyes of the world, without any real action to stop this terrorism, which has gone beyond the borders of Palestine and has become a genuine threat to the security and stability of the region and the world."

  • "There is no legitimacy and no sovereignty for the Zionist occupation over our blessed historic land, foremost among it Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, the central titles of the conflict with the enemy. The occupation will not succeed in erasing their features or Judaizing them. The blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque was, and will remain, purely Islamic, and our people will continue to hold firmly to Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Palestine. They will not allow the facts of history and reality to be altered and will sacrifice their lives and souls for their liberation."

  • "Resistance in all its forms is a natural and legitimate right guaranteed by international conventions, laws, and divine teachings to peoples living under occupation. The weapons of resistance in Palestine are inseparably linked to the existence of the occupation, and any talk of disarming the resistance while the occupation and its crimes persist constitutes alignment with the enemy’s agenda to impose its control, entrench its aggression, and erase the essence of our just cause."

  • "The foundation of the conflict in the region is the existence of the Zionist occupation on the land of Palestine. The continuation of its aggression and uninterrupted crimes over 78 years is a stain of shame on the foreheads of all those who remain silent or fail to criminalize it, expose it, and prosecute its leaders. Bias toward the occupation and the policy of double standards adopted by some countries in dealing with our just cause is a grave sin. We call on them to reverse this course and enable our people to secure their rights, determine their destiny, and end the occupation.

❗️Statement Issued by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement on the 78th Anniversary of the Nakba

"The 78th anniversary of the Nakba comes this year amid the escalating American-Zionist aggression against our nation, at the heart of which is Palestine, in unrelenting attempts to impose hegemony and control over our Arab and Islamic homeland, and to expand the occupation at the expense of the peoples of our region, especially in Syria and Lebanon, while threatening Arab and Islamic national security, particularly in Jordan, Egypt, and the Gulf states.

This confirms that the Zionist project in Palestine does not target Palestine alone, with its borders and people, but rather targets the entire Arab and Islamic nation. The statements of the leaders and criminals of the usurping entity, through their repeated declarations about expanding the scope of the occupation, extending regional dominance, and establishing what they call “Greater Israel,” confirm the dimensions of these dangers at the Arab and Islamic levels.

In occupied Palestine, the war criminals in the government of the entity and its army continue to commit all forms of war crimes and crimes against humanity by persisting in the war of extermination against our people in Gaza, repudiating all agreements, continuing the policy of siege, imposing facts on the ground, and maintaining constant threats of war. They also continue to commit crimes against civilians among our people in the West Bank and in the occupied interior, including assaults on innocent people, homes, and property, and the desecration of Islamic and Christian holy sites, foremost among them the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This reaches its peak today in the desecration of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the repeated chants hostile to Arabs and Muslims, with the full support of the Zionist government and its security apparatuses, and with the participation of government ministers and members of the Knesset, in further insult to Islamic holy sites and in continuation of plans to drag the entire region into a religious war to satisfy sick delusions rooted in Talmudic myths and distorted biblical fantasies.

Amid all of this, the criminal entity continues to wage war against the refugees of our people, even inside their camps in host countries, through continuous incitement against them and ongoing efforts to end the work of UNRWA and erase the issue of return and refugees.

On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, we affirm the following:

First: The Zionist project is an imminent danger to all the peoples and states of our region. Therefore, confronting this project is a religious, national, and moral duty, and everyone must assume their full responsibility in repelling the danger posed by this criminal entity.

Second: We affirm that the Zionist entity, despite all the crimes, aggressive practices, massacres, and war of extermination committed against our people and the peoples of our nation, is living through a profound existential crisis that none of these practices will save it from, thanks to the steadfastness of the forces of resistance in all arenas. On this occasion, we extend our thanks to all the mujahideen in every arena—in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq—and foremost among them the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its courageous people, wise leadership, and strong government.

Third: We renew our call to all sincere and free people from among the sons and daughters of our nation and the world to continue showing solidarity, exposing the criminal practices of the usurping entity and its sponsors in the US administration, and condemning those who remain silent, passive, or complicit with the entity and its schemes against our holy sites and the peoples of our nation."
