Khalil al-Hayya continued: Unfortunately, today the Islamic Ummah is divided, and enemies are trying to plunder our wealth and spread injustice and tyranny in Islamic lands and take maximum advantage of this issue.
He emphasized: The general principles of the religion of all of us are one, and we accept it; although there are minor differences, we should not forget our commonalities, which are naturally much greater, but rather we should help each other for complete unity.
The International Deputy of Hamas stated: Today the Islamic Ummah needs unity before anything else, and we have a duty to fight against anything that causes division, including terrorism, and spare no effort in this path.
Drawing Attention to the Palestine Issue
He clarified: The most important region that hegemony is oppressing excessively today is Palestine, the Zionist regime has targeted this valuable region and the first Qibla of Muslims to be able to dominate the Islamic Ummah; therefore, there is always discord and aggression in this country; therefore, we must be vigilant about this issue and know that we are all brothers together and must stand against the hegemonic enemy.
Reference to the Effects of the Sayf al-Quds Battle
Khalil al-Hayya noted: After the Sayf al-Quds battle, everyone witnessed how the nose of the Zionist regime was rubbed in the dust before the eyes of the world and was humiliated and abased.
He emphasized that stability and security in the region are achieved through unity, and continued: It is our duty as Muslims to remove this accursed regime from our land with empathy and cooperation, because all the oppressed and wronged are our brothers, and if a problem arises for another, we must rush to their aid.
