GAZA (Dispatches) – The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has announced that it advocates escalating resistance against the Zionist regime’s occupation, which has intensified its crimes against Palestinians, Al-Resalah newspaper reported.
This came in press remarks delivered by senior Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzouq, who stressed that the Sharm El-Sheikh meeting plans to rein in Palestinian resistance.
Regarding European and U.S. efforts to de-escalate Zionist violations against Palestinians, Abu Marzouq said, “The Europeans do not take practical measures to pressure the Israeli occupation to stop its crimes.”
He commented on the security coordination between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Zionist regime, saying, “The security coordination is based on passing information about the Palestinian resistance to the occupation. The Palestinian Authority should know that coordination with the Palestinians is more important than security coordination with the Israeli occupation.”
Abu Marzouq indicated that his movement supports hunger striker Khader Adnan, who has been under illegal so-called administrative detention inside Zionist regime jails.
Regarding his visit to Moscow, Abu Marzouq said the two sides discussed the latest developments concerning Palestine and the Zionist troops, as well as the escalating crimes of colonial settlers in the occupied West Bank under the cover of the extremist Zionist cabinet.
The gathering in Cairo, under the U.S. auspices, comes amid escalating violence in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds, which has left growing numbers of Palestinian people, including women and children, dead and many others injured.
Egypt, a U.S. ally, has in the past brokered negotiations aimed at ending hostilities between the Zionist regime and Hamas, including the May 2021 war. Cairo has also been mediating between rival Palestinian factions while tirelessly calling for the resumption of Zionist-Palestinian talks, which stalled years ago.
The summit in the Egyptian city comes only two weeks after the Aqaba security summit with the aim of de-escalating the surging violence in the Palestinian territories ahead of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
