The video shows statements made by terrorist Hanan Barghouti shortly after her release from prison, as part of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas during the Israeli counter-terror operation against Hamas’ terror war on Israel – see note below.
Released terrorist Hanan Barghouti: “May Allah bless Muhammad Deif (i.e., Hamas terror leader), may Allah bless Muhammad Deif… The people wants the Al-Qassam Brigades (i.e., Hamas’ military wing), the people wants the Al-Qassam Brigades… Children of the Gaza Strip, we will meet in Paradise. We will meet in Paradise, and the victory is yours! … May Allah bless the resistance (i.e., Hamas), if not for the resistance we would not be seeing freedom. Our freedom is thanks to them, our dignity is thanks to them, and our heads are held up high thanks to the resistance. If not for the resistance, not one prisoner would have returned… Here! Here! Here! The Al-Qassam Brigades! … The female prisoners are waiting for salvation… We still raise our heads up high, stand firm… Allah willing, the resistance will release all the female prisoners, and will empty the prisons. We are raising our heads up high thanks to the resistance.”
