Hamas devises plan for a world without Israel after the "liberation of Palestine"
Recommendations of the “Days of the Final Promise – Palestine After Liberation” conference held by Hamas terror leader Yahya Al-Sinwar published by the independent Palestinian news agency Safa
Headline: “Recommendations of the ‘Days of the Final Promise – Palestine After Liberation’ conference (“the final promise” refers to a Quranic verse that many Palestinians present as prophesizing Israel’s destruction; see note below -Ed.)”
“2) The liberation of Palestine is a collective mission laid on the shoulders of the entire [Islamic] nation, and foremost among it the Palestinian people. We must prepare a plan to mobilize the nation’s resources and to distribute roles among [the nation’s] components, each one according to its capabilities. This is the mission of the Palestine Liberation Council.
3) The Palestine Liberation Council will be managed through a general secretariat, led by the leadership council, which with the liberation of Palestine will become an executive council managed by a temporary presidential council until parliamentary and presidential elections are held and a new government is established.
4) The liberation parties will publish a Palestinian [declaration of] independence document immediately after the liberation. This document will deal with the Palestinian principles and will emphasize the Palestinian national identity and its Arab, Islamic, region, and global depth. Preparation of the document will be supervised by a group of experts in the fields of politics, Shari’ah law, law, and communications, because this will be a historical document in the legal and human sense, and it is considered a continuation of Umar’s Assurance (refers to a document from the 638 Muslim conquest of Jerusalem, stipulating no Jews were to live in the city –Ed.) and of Saladin’s (i.e., Muslim leader) declaration during the liberation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
5) The Palestinian legal government after liberation will first be based on a temporary basic law for an interim period… as long as they do not contradict the principles included in the document declaring the State of Palestine, and do not contradict the laws that will be decided on and ratified by the legislative bodies in Palestine in the transition stage, or after the transition stage and until the unification of legislation in Palestine. This is because the fact that a state no longer exists does not mean that its legislation no longer exists. The laws are not nullified, and they are not amended except by passing other laws.
6) The liberation parties declare a series of transitional laws that were prepared in advance, beginning with the lands and properties law…
7) Preparing the wording of the Palestinian declaration on spreading Palestinian sovereignty over the 1948 territories (i.e., Israel), in which the position regarding the various agreements and contracts will be determined.
8) Publishing a declaration to the UN that Palestine is a state that replaces the location of the occupation state, and it enjoys all the rights of the occupation state – according to the laws of the 1978 Vienna Convention [on Diplomatic Relations] regarding the replacement of a state.”
Yahya Al-Sinwar - Palestinian terrorist and senior member of the Hamas terror organization. Al-Sinwar was involved in the kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier Nachshon Wachsman in October 1994. Israeli soldier Nir Poraz was murdered during Israel's attempt to rescue Wachsman. Al-Sinwar was sentenced to 4 life sentences, but was released in the exchange deal for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.
The final (other) promise - The second half of Sura 17:7 of the Quran - “Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the temple [in Jerusalem], as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.” [Sahih International translation] - can be understood as either past or future tense due to the ambiguity of the Arabic "idha ja'a" referring to “the promise” that can be understood as “when it came” or “when it comes,” and the Arabic “al-ahera,” also referring to the promise, which can mean “other” or “final.” Many religious scholars understand it as past tense referring back to the destruction of the Second Temple. But some understand it as future tense, prophesizing some future destruction befalling the Jews. Al-Habbash presents it as prophesizing a final war in which Israel will be destroyed.
Saladin - Muslim leader and Sultan of Egypt and Syria who defeated the Christian crusaders and conquered Jerusalem in 1187. The Battle of Hattin (July 1187) took place in the Lower Galilee in what is today Israel and paved the way for Saladin’s reconquest of Jerusalem (October 1187).
