Israel's barbaric bombardment of Gaza has continued since October 2023 and the Zionist forces have turned Gaza into a graveyard of living people, keeping all international pressure on the tip of their shoes, but despite this, the morale of the Palestinian people is high.
The resistance movement of Palestine, Hamas, says that we do not demand the Muslim countries to send their troops to the battlefield against Israel, but they want the Muslim countries to implement their position to end the war.
Hamas spokesman Khalid Qadoumi told Geo.TV in an interview in Karachi that mere statements by Muslim countries and the OIC will not help, because Israel is killing innocent people on a daily basis.
He said that the OIC has so much influence that it pressures the international community and Israel to stop the war. It is a big question mark on Muslim countries that they cannot pressure Israel and the international community that the citizens of Gaza To be supplied with water?
Why the choice of October 7?
Khaled Qadoumi did not elaborate, saying that it was a 'technical move' and only Hamas mujahideen in Gaza can tell about it. He said that one of the objectives behind this attack was to surprise people.
He described the October 7 move as a response to Israeli brutality and said that Israel has been targeting Palestinians for seven decades, it was no surprise, we have been victims of these war crimes for the past 75 years.
When asked if Hamas anticipated such a harsh response from Israel, he said, "It has been doing this atrocity for the past 75 years. Let alone October 7, look at the occupied West Bank before that." Is there Hamas? Do they have weapons? Is Storm Al-Aqsa there? Then why were 300 people martyred in the occupied West Bank? Why is Israel killing our youth? Why were 4,600 people martyred?'
Khaled Qadoumi said that Israel did not need the Al-Aqsa storm or the October 7 attacks to bomb Gaza. "Prior to October 7, 150 to 300 Palestinians were being martyred for every Israeli because of violence and siege."
Possible establishment of Saudi-Israeli relations
In the interview, Khaled Qadoumi explained that the October 7 attack by Hamas was well-planned and obviously we had some 'goals' in mind with such a big move.
Regarding the possible establishment of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, Khaled Qadoumi said that it was a dangerous plan, because of October 7, all political efforts died. was one of me.'
Boycott and protest
A Hamas spokesman supported protests and boycotts, in which people refrain from consuming products or boycott fast-food chains that are associated with Israel or support its attacks.
He said that 'public opinion is very important, sometimes people say that public opinion does not matter, but today the boycott is happening because of public opinion, it is not because of any fatwa but people have done so. After thinking about it, it's not just an emotional decision.'
Khaled Qadoumi said, "Imagine that I am sitting at a western fast food restaurant and thinking that this money will be used as a bullet against a Palestinian child, so you boycott, you are not against any culture, if These brands are supporting Israel, so that means you are also supporting them in this genocide.'
He added that while the rallies are being held in the U.S., which has led to a pause in the war on humanitarian grounds, President Joe Biden has lost popularity before the presidential election because of Israel's war crimes, and its military and financial aid. had been.
Calling for the continuation of the demonstrations in support of the Palestinians, Khaled Qadoumi said, "You must stay on the streets to keep the morale of the people high. I am not talking about Hamas, I am talking about ordinary Palestinians." Those poor people whose 60% residential area has been destroyed.'
