Biography
Zakaria Abu Muammar was born on 22 December 1972 AD, in Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip.
Education
He obtained a Bachelor's degree in Arabic language from the Faculty of Education at the Islamic University and pursued the teaching profession, then worked in the private sector.
Resistance Activities
Abu Muammar joined the Hamas Movement in 1989 AD and participated in the implementation of its national activities. During his student years, he was one of the active members of the Islamic and Guild Council of the University and held several organizational positions within Hamas.
Oslo Accords, the Basis of Palestine's Problems
He believed that the Oslo Agreement was the basis of disasters and a factor in the division of the people of Palestine, and caused a group of Palestinian people to sign an agreement through which they overlooked the historical rights of the Palestinian people and then reaped illusion and mirage.
Hamas's Logical Stances
According to him, the Fatah Movement, by accepting the Oslo Accords, closed the doors of national participation and monopolized everything, while Hamas strengthened participation and exchange of views, and its positions were close or similar to the position of other factions. He emphasized that Hamas was able to turn the idea of unity and participation into important projects such as: forming the National Authority for the Marches of Return and Breaking the Siege, supporting Palestinians in the 1948 occupied territories, forming a Joint Operations Room. And Hamas did not make any important decision until after national consensus.
Resistance, the Solution to the Palestine Crisis
Abu Muammar believed that resistance against the occupiers in any form and method, especially military resistance, was achievable and the future belongs to resistance. And its Arab and Islamic power and depth strengthens conflicts in its vast regions, and the legitimate presence of resistance leads to larger, stronger, and more empowered equations in achieving the freedom of Palestine. In his belief, keeping the Gaza Strip under siege, the occupation of the West Bank, transferring power to a security institution in exchange for money, eliminating the issue of refugees, and expanding crime inside the occupied territories are among the strategies of the Zionist regime. While the Palestinian people confront this with resistance in the Gaza Strip, revolution in the West Bank, and adherence to national identity and resistance against Judaization and Israelization projects in the lands related to 1948 AD. And the Palestinian Authority has marginalized the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization and considers it part of its own circles, emptying it of its content and purpose, and turning it into a trump card that it uses for its own benefit when necessary. While Hamas calls for reforming and rebuilding the organization and does not seek alternative projects, as this causes increased division in Palestine, and keeping the doors of the organization closed to Hamas movements and Islamic Jihad, causes the loss of legitimacy and status of the Palestinian Authority, as a representative of the Palestinian people. In his belief, the policy of reference and principle in the West Bank is to prevent the use of any trump card that hinders Palestinian unity and achieving the goals of the Palestinian people, and except for that, no other project will succeed; because this land cannot have anything but a purely Palestinian entity and there is no sovereignty except for the Palestinian nation. And the current political system of Palestine, which is represented by the Autonomous Government, does not have a balance of decision-making and representation, and the vast majority of the Fatah movement does not trust this interest group, and calls for the necessity of mobilizing the Palestinian people everywhere against the occupiers, adhering to a project called the Resistance Project.
Undesirable Situation of Arabs
He believes that the situation of the Arabs is bad, because there are regimes that have allowed themselves to be self-satisfied and normalize their relations with the enemy, and by doing so, they first harm themselves and in the second stage harm their own people, but they trust the Arab people and their free will that rejects this mockery.
Imprisonment
He suffered during his struggle. The Israeli occupation regime arrested him twice in the years 1992 AD, and 1994 AD, and the Palestinian Authority security services arrested him five times between the years 1996 AD, and 1999 AD.
Martyrdom
Finally, Zakaria Abu Muammar was martyred on 10 October 2023 AD, during the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood[1].
