Khaled Meshaal: "Al-Aqsa Flood" is a major shift in the conflict and has returned Israel to square one

Meshaal believed that "the rope of international support for the Zionist entity is being cut off gradually until it ends, and now it remains for the regimes to acknowledge the Palestinian right, respect the will of the nation and the region, and sever their relationship with this entity."

He also pointed out that the flood came in response to "the escalation of crimes of torture against prisoners, and the increasing pressure on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Before it, Al-Aqsa was on the verge of demolition, Judaization was surrounding Jerusalem, and plans to displace the people of the West Bank to Jordan were accelerating to create a new crisis in the region."

In the same context, Meshaal pointed out that "over the course of a year, the enemy failed to achieve its goals in Gaza, so it tried to export its crisis by attacking Lebanon and the region in the hope of restoring the image of deterrence that was shattered in the Strip since October 7," to no avail.

He explained that "the flood revealed the true criminal face of the enemy, and it appeared that it does not respect any laws, customs or values, and exposed the nature of the Zionist project, which is characterized by expansion and domination."

Meshaal warned that Israel "seeks to strike anyone who stands in its way in the East and the West, and wants everyone to remain subservient to it," including its supporters.

He considered that the Israeli conspiracies "are not limited to Palestine only, but extend to attack Arab and Islamic national security everywhere," considering that this means that "the battle is not optional but fateful."

In this regard, Meshaal pointed out that "Jordan is threatened with the displacement of the people of the West Bank to it, in a move aimed at ending the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan," according to his assessment.

He called for "unifying the resistance fronts to fight the enemy with cohesive unity and defeat him," considering that "despite his capabilities, he cannot defeat a unified and strong front."

Monday marks the first anniversary of Israel's launch, with American support, of a genocidal war in Gaza, which has so far resulted in more than 139,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, and more than 10,000 missing persons, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people.

In parallel with the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army expanded its operations, and the settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which resulted in, in addition to the arrests, 743 deaths and about 6,200 injuries.
