Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Yahya Sinwar, sent a message to the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, thanking him for the party’s involvement in confronting the Israeli occupation within the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa.
Hezbollah’s media office revealed the message on Friday morning, and it comes about a month after Sinwar assumed the leadership of the movement, succeeding the martyr Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran on July 31.
Al-Sinwar said that he “received with great appreciation the message of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, which included congratulations on his election to the position and his condolences on the martyrdom of Haniyeh.”
The head of Hamas praised Hezbollah’s involvement in the fronts of the resistance axis, supporting and participating in the battle.
He said, “The martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh in the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa confirms that the blood of leaders is not more precious than the blood of the sons of the Palestinian people.”
He added, “This pure blood and blessed convoys of martyrs will increase in strength and power in confronting the Nazi Zionist occupation,” according to his expression.
Al-Sinwar stressed that Hamas “will remain, as it has always been, steadfast on the path of loyalty to the blood of the martyrs, and that the lofty principles that Haniyeh called for will remain steadfast and present, and our movement and our fighters will continue to follow them.”
He also wrote in his letter to Nasrallah, “At the forefront of these principles is the unity of our Palestinian people in the choice of jihad and resistance, and the unity of the nation, at the heart of which is the axis of resistance in the face of the Zionist project in defense of our nation and our sanctities until the occupation is defeated and swept from our land, and our independent state with full sovereignty is established with Jerusalem as its capital.”
On August 6, Hamas announced the election of Yahya Sinwar as the movement’s leader, succeeding Ismail Haniyeh. A special source told Tel Aviv Tribune at the time that Sinwar was chosen unanimously through the voting mechanisms followed within the movement.
