The deputy leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, has again demanded that all Palestinians continue fighting until all of "Palestine" is free from the "Zionist Occupation."
The latest declaration came during a speech in honor of the Eid al-Adha holiday. Haniyeh said, "The occupiers want to change the history, the geography, and the culture of Jerusalem. But our people, led by the men and women who cling to the al-Aqsa compound and around al-Maqdis [another term for Jerusalem], stand against these attacks and this war, with heroism and bravery, and they assert that the land is ours and everything is ours."
