"Palestinian resistance won’t stop until Israeli Occupation ends", says Hamas

Hamas said Thursday that the Palestinian resistance will not stop until the end of the Israeli Occupation and the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

In a joint statement issued by Hamas and other Palestinian factions regarding the “New York Declaration,” the groups stated that the path to a solution begins with halting what they described as a fascist assault on the Palestinian people, ending the genocide, and stopping the systematic starvation imposed by the occupation forces.

The factions affirmed their readiness to resolve the issue of captives held in Gaza as part of a ceasefire agreement that would include a full withdrawal of "Israeli" forces from the Gaza Strip, reopening of crossings, and the immediate start of reconstruction.

They also emphasized the need for a serious political process, under international and Arab sponsorship, to end the occupation and achieve Palestinian aspirations for a fully sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Hamas described the Israeli Occupation as the main source of terrorism and instability in the region, accusing it of committing genocide and systematic starvation in Gaza.

The statement concluded with a call to implement previous national agreements signed in Cairo, Algiers, Moscow, and Beijing, stressing the need to reorganize the Palestinian political system, including reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization and holding presidential, legislative, and national council elections.
