This regime will not break the will of our people; rather, the people's steadfastness in confronting the occupier and its hostile schemes will intensify"[3].
World Assembly of Islamic Awakening
The statement by the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening was issued following the martyrdom of Abu Hamza, spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, and a group of resistance commanders and mujahideen of Palestine. The text of the statement reads:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Template:Quran text Once again, the criminal and bloodthirsty Zionist regime, by committing a savage crime, has martyred a group of honorable commanders and fighters of the Palestine resistance. The martyrdom of Abu Hamza, spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, alongside valiant commanders and mujahideen such as Martyr Issam al-Da'alis, Martyr Yasser Harb, member of the political bureau of Hamas, Mohammed Mahmoud Batran, artillery unit commander and member of the movement's military council, and resistant fighters such as Ahmed al-Hattha, Mahmoud Abu Watfa, and Bahjat Abu Sultan, is another example of the savagery of the Jerusalem occupier regime and its desperate attempt to extinguish the flame of the Palestinian people's resistance. The Zionist regime, having become incapable and desperate in the face of the steadfastness and resilience of the Palestinian people and the resistance mujahideen, has once again launched savage attacks against Gaza, bombing residential areas and massacring women, children, and defenseless civilians. These horrific crimes, committed under the shadow of silence and shameless support from this regime's Western backers and the USA, demonstrate the predatory nature and racist policies of the Zionists in suppressing the oppressed Palestinian nation.
While strongly condemning these savage attacks and the assassination of resistance commanders, the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening emphasizes that the martyrdom of these mujahideen will not weaken the front of resistance; rather, it will double the determination and will of the Palestinian people and all fighters on the path to the liberation of Noble Jerusalem to stand firm and fight until the complete eradication of Zionist occupation. We call upon all Muslim nations, Islamic countries, and freedom-lovers worldwide not to remain silent in the face of these horrific crimes and to support the oppressed Palestinian people with all their capacity. We also request international and human rights organizations to fulfill their responsibilities in the face of these unprecedented crimes and bring the Zionist regime to trial for these war crimes. We offer our condolences for the martyrdom of these commanders and resistance fighters to the honorable families of the martyrs, the resilient Palestinian nation, the leaders of Islamic Jihad, and all fighters on the path to Palestine's liberation, and we ask Almighty God to grant these precious martyrs the highest ranks and to grant patience and reward to their survivors[4].
