Muslim Brotherhood Appreciates Gaza Truce and Mediation Efforts
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) appreciates the Gaza humanitarian truce that was reached today, Wednesday, between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Zionist entity, noting that the accord was concluded under the impact of the resistance’s blows and its performance on the battlefield, as well as its possession of negotiation cards over the Palestinian prisoners, which indicates how strong the resistance’s management of the battle is, both militarily and politically, in order to achieve the aspirations of the Palestinian people.
The Brotherhood also hails the mediation efforts that have contributed to concluding the agreement that stipulates the liberation of 150 Palestinian women and children in occupation prisons as one of the objectives of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, in addition to reaching a humanitarian truce to bring in hundreds of aid trucks, which would contribute to alleviating the humanitarian disaster that civilians have been suffering, after a complete siege that has lasted 47 days under the enemy's bombardment and fire.
The MB stresses the significance of maintaining diplomatic efforts for de-escalation, sparing bloodshed, and protecting civilians. It also emphasizes the need for a continued popular pressure across the world to back the diplomacy efforts that work to achieve this end – until the siege is lifted, the Rafah crossing is permanently opened for entry of aid and sparing any targeting of civilians in the battle; and until the last Palestinian prisoner is freed and the Palestinian people enjoy freedom on their land.
While we recall with pride how the valiant Palestinian resistance plunged the occupier’s nose into the dirt of Gaza on the glorious October Seventh, and forced it to abide by its own terms for liberation of part of the Palestinian captives of women and children – we also hail its position and resilience in balancing between causing pain to the enemy militarily, and prioritizing the national interest in caring for the injured and the patients, and meeting the needs of the people of the Gaza Strip, which highlights its role as a national liberation movement committed to the morals of Islam and its lofty principles in times of peace and war.
May Allah bless the efforts of the Mujahideen in the Isra’ and Mi'raj land, protect our long-suffering Palestinian people stationed in Gaza, and grant success to the efforts of actors throughout our Islamic and Arab nation and the struggle of the free people of the world in supporting the right and repelling the aggression.
