Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh: “This battle will have a continuation,” in victory speech after 2021 Hamas terror war
Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh: “I announce to you this mighty victory that was recorded by the heroic resistance (i.e., Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli cities). This divine, strategic, complex victory at this stage of the conflict with the Zionist enemy… This battle will have a continuation. The success is from Allah first and foremost… We consider this battle a qualitative quantum leap in the history of the conflict with the enemy… The resistance and the resistance as an alternative are the shortest path to liberation and return, because this battle thwarted the illusions of negotiations… thwarted the plans of coexistence with the Zionist occupation (i.e., Israel), thwarted the plans of normalization with the Zionist occupation… Here I must thank those who gave money and weapons to the brave resistance. [Thanks] to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which did not withhold money, weapons, and technologies from this resistance.”
