Osama Hamdan, Hamas’ top representative in Lebanon, made the remarks in a press conference in the capital Beirut on Tuesday, noting that the Resistance group is “well prepared” to fight no matter how long the Israeli war is going to last.
“After 60 days of war, [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu and his military couldn’t achieve a single military or political victory. It’s a dream that will never come true to him or to his military. No matter how long the war would last, we are well-prepared,” Hamdan said.
“Over 75 years this enemy has never claimed victory against our people. Our people have always been resisting and therefore they can never win against Hamas and they can never claim victory against our Palestinian people and here I would like to confirm that Netanyahu and his war staff are sinking deeper and deeper into the swamp of Gaza,” he added.
Hamdan also hailed the fighters of al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, who are defending the Palestinian people’s rights and their land, saying, “Every moment they are making the enemy sustain injuries and losses and making Gaza a cemetery for such an aggressor.”
Israel waged the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas launched an operation against the occupied territories on that day in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Nearly 16,000 people, most of them women and children, have been killed in Israel’s aggression on Gaza during the past two months.
The Hamas official went on to say that Israel’s invasion of Gaza is just a “thirst for blood” that will go unquenched, adding that the real objective of the occupying regime is to eliminate the Palestinian people and their cause which is “an impossibility”.
He also predicted that Netanyahu’s regime would soon fall because of the Gaza war, adding that the long-serving premier would eventually be tried as a war criminal.
Hamdan further stated that Netanyahu is “responsible” for the lives of Israeli war prisoners in Gaza, adding that his goals in the enclave are “unattainable”.
He also said the Israeli regime failed to release a single prisoner of war except according to our terms, emphasizing that there will be “no negotiations or a prisoner swap” before the Israeli assault on Gaza comes to an end.
