General Esmaeil Qa’ani made his speech on Wednesday in the “Manbar al-Quds” program.
Qa’ani welcomed Hamas’ 2023 Al-Aqsa flood operation, describing it as “a combination of battlefield resistance and popular resistance.”
He said the operation “introduced a new phenomenon of unity during the Resistance Front,” demonstrating the strength and solidarity of resistance.
The QUDS Force commander reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering support for the resistance front, stressing that “it continues until the ultimate goal of liberating Al-Quds is achieved.”
“The Al-Aqsa flood was a turning point.”
Hamas leader Khalil al-Khaiya said the current stage is unprecedented in Palestinian history.
He said resistance irreversibly reconstructed the Palestinian struggle through the Al-Aqsa flood operation.
He said the operation demonstrated its ability to take initiatives and launch attacks, exposing the security and military failures of Zionist groups.
Despite months of relentless killings, terrorism and destruction supported by Washington’s full support, the occupation failed to break the will of the Palestinian people, he said.
According to Hayya, as part of a broader strategy of political, economic and military control, the Al-Aqsa flood was launched to counter the regime’s attempts to finalize control over Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa.
He said resistance managed to reveal the true nature of occupation as the main enemy of the Islamic world.
He said the ongoing struggle has integrated fighter jets from Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Iran on a common front against occupation, creating a new regional power dynamic.
Meanwhile, Haiya said that free people around the world gathered to condemn Israel’s invasion, reject the US support for the crime, and condemn the terrorist acts committed by the occupation.
Haya called on the Arab and Islamic worlds to take a firm stand and said it was time for the profession to break the silence to push the regional expansionist agenda.
He said it was the duty of the entire Muslim Umma, to protect Al Aksa and to support the Gaza and Palestinian people in their struggle.
Haiya said that compromising even a part of Al-Aqsa is an act of betrayal of the faith, the nation and the sacrifice of martyrs.
Hayya said the release of Al-Quds is not merely a political goal, but rather a historical and religious certainty regardless of obstacles.
“Unification elements among Muslims”
Ziad Al Nakara, the Islamic jihad of the Palestinian Resistance Movement, said the Palestinian people are the most powerful in the world and that Al Kud acts as a united force for Muslims.
“Our people show their strength and are not budging in the face of global plots. Al-Kud has always been the greatest weapon in the world.”
Nakara praised the martyrs of Operation Al Aksa Flood, saying, “These brave men fought the enemy with unparalleled courage.”
He said that through their sacrifices, the martyrs “prove the truth of their promises to God and supporters of resistance.”
“Despite the sacrifices, the unity bond within the resistance of this region will never break. The Palestinians stand firm on their land and accept nothing but their legitimate soil.”
“We are trying to erase the Palestinian cause.”
Sheikh Naim Qassem, executive director of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, said the US was trying to dismantle the Palestinian cause through Israel.
But faithful people won’t allow this to happen, Hezbollah leaders said.
Sheikh Qassem said Palestine has been occupied for more than 75 years, but Israel was unable to erase its Palestinian identity.
“To change the formula, the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation was carried out. The light of the Palestinian cause shines as a sign of the truth of the world, without vanishing.”
Sheikh Qassem said today that Israeli crime brought the true identity of the regime to the forefront.
“The Zionist regime is tackling an existential crisis and cannot secure its existence through occupation.”
Sheikh Qassem praised the Palestinians for their resilience despite more than 50,000 Palestinian martists and more than 100,000 injuries in Gaza.
Lebanese resistance leaders also mentioned Washington’s Gaza evacuation plan, describing it as “very dangerous.”
“The plan aims to end the Palestinian cause, replace the Palestinian people, occupy the lands of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Jordan, and control Western Asia.”
However, Sheikh Qassem said that continued sacrifice and resistance would block the scheme.
“We firmly believe that victory belongs to a faithful person.”
Houthi: Working with Muslim Ummah’s betrayal
Abdul Malik al-Hauc, leader of Yemen’s Ansarlah Resistance, warned that the US-backed Israeli ongoing attacks aimed at dismantling the Palestinian cause.
“The actions of Israeli enemies, mass murder, infrastructure destruction, starvation and thirst clearly reveal their attempts to forcibly drive away the Palestinian people.”
Houthi called on Arab countries to take a “bold and historical position” to prevent the movement of Palestinians and to resist normalization with Israel.
He said such displacements can only be successful in accomplices in certain Arab countries.
“If Israeli enemies succeed in banishing the Palestinian people, their next target will be their Palestinian neighbours and the wider Arab world.”
The Ansarlah leader urged all Muslims to oppose Israeli expansionism and reject psychological defeat and despair.
Despite the US attacks, Yemen will not retreat and will continue to work to support the Palestinian people, Houthi said.
