I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the outcast.

 

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. I believe that there is no god but Allah, the Sovereign and the Manifest Truth, and that Muhammad, our master, is His servant, Messenger, and Last Prophet.

O Allah! Confer Your salat and blessings upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad as You conferred Your salat and blessings upon Ibrahim and the Family of Ibrahim. You are Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory! And be pleased with Muhammad's good companions and all Your righteous servants and mujahidin.

Brothers and sisters, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

In our discussion of this week’s most notable developments in the brutal and criminal Israeli assault on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, we focus on three main points:

• First, the passing of two full years since the Israeli enemy launched its all-out campaign of aggression and genocide—the crime of the century—against the oppressed Palestinian people.
• Second, the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
• Third, the ceasefire agreement announced yesterday, intended to bring an end to the assault on Gaza.

Turning to the first theme, two years have elapsed since the Israeli assault began, and a third year has now commenced. This represents the bloodiest, most criminal, and most tyrannical assault of our era—a continuation of Israeli aggression, occupation, and injustice against the Palestinian people from the very beginning of the occupation until today. There is no need to say that the Israeli enemy has remained in a state of perpetual aggression since it first occupied Palestine.

We passed the two-year mark of genocide carried out by every conceivable means. People have been killed en masse by the deadliest means imaginable, from devastating and incendiary American bombs to volleys of bullets, fired both indiscriminately and, at times, by snipers who deliberately targeted even children, aiming at their hearts and heads. Women, as well as the wider civilian population, have also been targeted by every conceivable means of genocide.

Systematic starvation has reached such an extent that even infant formula has become a chief item denied to Palestinian families and their children. The Palestinian people have been denied access to water. In a campaign of extreme brutality and aggression, the Israeli enemy has destroyed water wells and devastated the sewage infrastructure. Those striving to obtain water—enduring immense hardship to bring it to their families—have themselves become targets; even children have not been spared. Even obtaining a sip of water has become dangerous and fraught with risk.

The Israeli enemy has also denied access to medicine, destroyed hospitals, and killed medical staff. It has even made the targeting of hospitals a central feature of its assault on Gaza, directing many of its military operations at these facilities and committing some of the most appalling crimes, such as the targeting of infants and premature babies in incubators, the killing of patients, and the systematic destruction of every component of the healthcare sector, all with the intention of exterminating the Palestinian people and depriving them of any medical care that might save lives or alleviate suffering.

In the same vein, the Israeli enemy has unleashed widespread destruction across the Gaza Strip—north, centre, and south, including Gaza City—determined to obliterate entire neighbourhoods and vast residential areas. It has deployed aerial bombardments, fire belts, booby-trapped vehicles, bulldozers, and every other conceivable method of destruction. Zionist contractors have been enlisted to work alongside the Israeli army and its criminal gangs in these operations.

Since the very first day of its two-year assault, the Israeli enemy has pursued forced displacement as a primary objective, denying the people of Gaza any chance of stability. Displacement has been constant—from one block to another, from one area to the next. Some areas are declared ‘safe’, only for the displaced to be attacked there as well, and so the process repeats: People are moved ceaselessly from place to place with no opportunity for respite. This relentless upheaval has persisted for two years, leaving the Palestinian people without any prospect of a settled life.

In the tiny Gaza Strip, eleven per cent of the population has been killed or injured by the Israeli enemy with full American partnership—the Americans' hands are in every Israeli atrocity. This represents the highest proportion of casualties seen in our time. For this reason, such a monstrous crime is rightly described as the crime of the age, the crime of the century; nowhere else, in this era or anywhere else in the world, has such a percentage of a population been killed, wounded, or targeted within a single area.

The statistics demonstrate the following:

• The toll exceeds 67,000 martyrs, nearly half of them women and children—an extraordinarily high proportion, especially considering the limited size of the area.
• Over 10,000 are missing, many buried beneath the vast rubble of destroyed residential blocks and neighbourhoods.
• And more than 169,000 have been wounded, over 19,000 of them in so-called ‘death traps’ set by the Americans and Israelis, using starvation as a weapon against the Palestinian people.

 

In this aggression, the Israeli enemy has targeted everything in the Gaza Strip:

• It targeted mosques in Gaza, with more than a thousand mosques completely or partly destroyed.
• It targeted schools extensively and the education sector as a whole, with 95% of educational institutions badly damaged, bringing schooling to an almost complete halt.
• Even cemeteries were targeted, with more than forty attacked.
• It stole more than two thousand bodies.
• Journalists were deliberately targeted, resulting in many martyrs.
• It also targeted humanitarian and civil defence workers.
• It targeted men, women, children, and the elderly, sparing no one. The entire population endured unparalleled brutality and criminality. Scenes emerged showing acts of unimaginable cruelty: the use of police dogs against the elderly and the sick, mauling them while still alive; the killing of children in front of their families; and many other unspeakable crimes.
• This is not to mention its crimes against abductees and prisoners—torture resulting in the martyrdom of many prisoners, grave violations of dignity, and acts of rape.

Every form of crime, assault, and violation—condemned by all standards, whether religious, moral, international, or humanitarian—has been committed by the Israeli enemy in the most abhorrent fashion.

With regard to the second anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the historic and momentous operation on the 7^th of October marked a watershed and a major turning point in the Palestinian people’s jihad. It also falls within the scope of their legitimate right to perform jihad against the Israeli enemy—a usurping, murderous enemy that has perpetrated crimes across decades, since the beginning of the occupation of Palestine and even before, with the earliest criminal Zionist gangs committing grave crimes from their inception.

Before the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the Zionist policy pursued by the Americans and Israelis was set on erasing the Palestinian cause. This operation did not arise in a vacuum; it was not an unprovoked act or an unwarranted escalation by the Palestinian people or their mujahidin against the Israeli enemy. Rather, it is the product of seventy-five years of Zionist crimes against the Palestinian people in every imaginable form:

• Killing and abduction,
• Violations of sanctity and dignity,
• The deprivation of freedom,
• Usurpation of land,
• Targeting of holy sites,
• Daily humiliation and oppression.

Israel’s very presence in Palestine amounts to aggression, crime, oppression, occupation, and the persistent denial of Palestinian rights. It is nothing short of daily persecution of the Palestinian people, manifesting every form of oppression and suffering. This is the context in which these events must be understood.

The enemies’ efforts had intensified in the period leading up to Operation AlAqsa Flood, seeking to erase the Palestinian cause. They felt that the matter had dragged on too long. From the outset, their goal was to secure complete control over Palestine and then move beyond it within the framework of the Zionist scheme, seeking to implement their aggressive and unjust project for what they call ‘Greater Israel’ and to realise their openly stated ambition of 'Changing Middle East'. All these objectives signify the complete confiscation of our people's rights, dignity, and independence. They imply the imposition of Israeli-Zionist control over our region—the entire region, all its peoples, and all its countries. These objectives reveal their intention for this region, in all its resources and assets, to serve American and Israeli interests, and for its peoples to be turned into subjugated, submissive populations—deprived of freedom and dignity, stripped of their identity, alienated from their principles and religious values, and even robbed of their human dignity, worth, and universally recognised legitimate rights. They also mean the exploitation of all the region’s wealth, its highly significant strategic position, and all its vital assets for the benefit of the Israeli enemy and its American partner, in line with the wider goals of their Zionist project. In fact, they also have far-reaching global goals, but they make our region a cornerstone for what they are planning and striving to achieve, as outlined in the known and publicly declared Zionist agenda.

Therefore, this is the context: The Israeli enemy, in partnership with the United States and with Western support, was working at a feverish pace and on a vast scale to erase the Palestinian cause entirely. Most dangerous of all, these efforts involved attempts to draw in certain Arab regimes. In this context, the so-called 'Deal of the Century' was advanced by Trump, while both before and after it, there was constant talk of ‘Changing the Middle East’—an agenda the Americans and Israelis proclaim openly and pursue by every means. Together, they seek to implement this plan, recruiting as many regional regimes as possible, even against their own peoples, their own Ummah, and their own region.

As an act of betrayal against this Ummah, the concept of 'normalisation' is not confined merely to normalising ties with the Israeli enemy at various levels or entering so-called 'peace agreements' with it. In truth, these agreements, though disguised as 'peace agreements', are intended to entrench surrender and the acceptance of Israeli control. Consequently, these agreements place obligations solely upon one side: the side represented by the Arab regimes. Such obligations are intended to pave the way for the Israeli enemy to establish full control over this region.

For instance, foremost among these explicit obligations is to accept the elimination and abandonment of the Palestinian cause. This is a core issue, and it has been unmistakably displayed in the conduct of certain Arab regimes over the past two years, as they have not even severed diplomatic relations with the Israeli enemy. By contrast, some non-Islamic states have severed diplomatic ties with the Israeli enemy out of solidarity with the Palestinian people and driven by human conscience and moral principle.

It is disgraceful for a state that respects itself and claims to uphold values and principles—even at the level of basic humanity—to maintain relations with a criminal, usurping entity made up of bloodstained, oppressive, and lawless gangs, as the Israeli enemy is in its crimes, savagery, and oppression.

Thus, at the forefront of what they are working towards—the principal goal, together with ambitions to expand across the region—is to push others to accept the elimination of the Palestinian cause and to abandon it. This would amount to a grave catastrophe for the Ummah, for it first and foremost means abandoning a sacred cause with deep religious roots, intimately bound up with religion, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the sanctities in Palestine. This Ummah even bears humanitarian, religious, and moral responsibilities to fulfil towards the Palestinian people and Palestine itself as a land within the Islamic world. The same also holds true when it comes to its national interests.

Therefore, accepting the elimination and abandonment of this cause in favour of the Israeli enemy represents a grave injustice against the Palestinian people—an entire people of this Ummah—and the complete seizure of their rights. It means relinquishing sanctities of such great importance in Islam, the religion of this Ummah, thereby relinquishing the Ummah’s dignity, honour, and pride. It also means abandoning duties that are matters of faith, humanity, ethics, and values. But for whose benefit is all of this? It is for the benefit of a criminal, malevolent, oppressive enemy, while the Ummah stands to lose. Thus, it is a losing deal for all Arab regimes—an utter loss: loss of religion and everything, including dignity, independence, liberty, honour, human conscience. By every standard, it is a truly catastrophic loss.

Among those obligations—implemented immediately by the regimes that embarked on that course—was the alteration of official Arab curricula to raise the younger generation and the youth to be loyal to the Israeli enemy, to glorify it, and to accept its control. This represents a major catastrophe and remains one of the most dangerous and destructive policies the Americans and Israelis seek, with Western support, to advance among our peoples through official institutions and governments. For this is an assault on identity, culture, and thought—an occupation of minds and hearts that changes loyalties and redirects enmities into directions that serve the Israeli and American enemy.

There have been truly disturbing developments along this path, with genuine attempts to present the Israeli enemy in a manner appealing even to the younger generation. In some Arab countries, primary-school curricula have been revised so that children, from their earliest years, are taught to view the Israeli enemy with admiration, to glorify Zionist Jews, and to be psychologically and culturally conditioned to accept their control and even revere them. This is something they focus on.

Accompanying this is the manipulation of religious discourse and matters of religion. The situation has reached the point where verses from the book of Allah are removed from school curricula simply because their presence displeases the Zionist Jews, who demand their removal, and actually see their demands fulfilled. That the situation reached the extent of showing no respect for the Holy Quran—the most sacred of all things for Muslims—reveals the depth of recklessness and treachery and the extreme deviation marking this path; for all this is done even at the expense of the Holy Quran itself and, in some cases, involves attempts to distort the meanings and concepts of Quranic verses. The same manipulation has also extended to religious discourse in mosques.

With regard to media, some Arab regimes have taken steps to reorient media coverage in order to present the Israeli enemy in a favourable light. The aim has been to portray it as having a legitimate right to occupy Palestine, thereby encouraging people to accept its presence, to enter into relations with it at every level, and to view its occupation and control over Palestine as something normal.

At the same time, there has been a concerted media campaign persistently vilifying the Palestinian people. We have seen and heard this in the media outlets of certain Arab regimes that have taken this path. These outlets have relentlessly targeted the Palestinian people, their mujahidin, and their free factions upholding Palestinian rights. In this context, there have also been official visits, the opening of tourism and airspace, and many other developments along similar lines.

Economically, they have taken a highly dangerous path, aiming at linking the Arab economy to the Israeli enemy in order to make it the centre of economic activity and become the dominant force controlling the region’s overall economic direction. Preparations for this were already underway, but the Al-Aqsa Flood operation has delayed and impeded this entire trajectory.

Key aspects of this scheme include transforming Haifa Port into a central hub for the region, connecting all countries—especially the Gulf states—so that imports and exports flow through it. This would tie the region’s economy entirely to the Israeli enemy, granting it comprehensive control over trade, both imports and exports.

The Israeli enemy has also sought to construct an alternative to the Suez Canal, known as 'the Ben-Gurion Canal', as part of this agenda.

Furthermore, there have been efforts to tie all telecommunications and internet traffic for the Arab region to the Israeli enemy, making it the region’s principal gateway. All these initiatives are still ongoing; however, as previously noted, the Al-Aqsa Flood operation has delayed and impeded these steps.

The Israeli enemy is seeking to dominate every aspect of this Ummah, including water resources. It already controls the water resources of the Palestinian people and aims to exert similar control over Lebanon, and it has already asserted control over Jordan’s water and now wields considerable influence over Syria’s water resources. Its ambition is to extend this dominance even further to ultimately reach the Nile and the Euphrates, thereby bringing the countries along them under its influence, including Iraq and beyond. The overarching aim is to control all the essentials of life for the peoples of this region, using this control as a means of humiliating, subjugating, and enslaving this Ummah. To that end, it is seeking control over the water supplies and the economy, which is of immense importance to our region and to the world at large.

Furthermore, this extends to ensuring acceptance of systematic resource exploitation, whereby the Israelis and Americans enjoy priority access to all strategic resources throughout the region—gas, oil, and other major assets—so that these fall under their control, serve their interests, and expand their influence. This is accompanied by compliance with the policies dictated by both the Americans and Israelis, aiming to push this Ummah's economy to the brink of collapse—leaving it unproductive, merely a consumer market, without any capabilities or self-sufficiency in any critical economic sector.

In the field of telecommunications, it is striking that the Israeli enemy has been permitted to infiltrate national telecommunications networks, even in some Gulf countries, where access was given for spyware services, thereby allowing Israel to spy on them. It exploits this access to spy on them and to further entrench itself within their technological and telecommunications sectors. Airspace has also been opened to it, among other things

Within this same framework, efforts are made to completely open the door to moral corruption and the erasure of our peoples’ identity, seeking to destroy their morale and to strip the youth—both men and women—of their human, moral, and religious values. The goal is to subjugate these peoples to the Jews, making them compliant, and to bring the youth— the backbone and greatest asset of our peoples—to a state where they serve no purpose and have no value for their own people. The enemies aim to transform the youth of this Ummah into dancers, alcoholics, drug addicts, aimless wanderers, and transgender individuals—into a degraded, debased state, devoid of any value to their Ummah or themselves, and stripped of their humanity, values, morality, and religion.

Therefore, even in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques, the doors were flung wide open to these efforts aimed at the total erosion of moral values. That is why, for example, when Zionist crimes against the Palestinian people reached their height, we saw another scene unfolding in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques: wild, debauched, and frivolous parties—a scene of utter disgrace! This is the very image they wish to see dominate our Ummah and coincide with every calamity, every disaster, and every tragedy. Even if it gets to targeting Mecca and Medina, destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque, or annihilating an entire people, they want the prevailing atmosphere among the youth of this Ummah to be one of dancing, drunkenness, and heedless indulgence, utterly disconnected from the realities, challenges, and vital issues that concern their fate, dignity, lives, faith, present, and future. They want all of this to be overlooked. In fact, this agenda remains in full force, and they will only intensify their efforts to advance it.

Part of this very agenda is the naturalisation of Zionist Jews in Arab countries, granting them full rights—and even privileges that exceed ordinary citizenship—and enabling them to gain influence at every level: economic, administrative, and political. From the very first steps of normalisation, the process of naturalisation began on a mass scale. In some Gulf states, citizenships were granted immediately to Zionist Jewish residents, and within a short time, the numbers rose dramatically, reaching into the thousands. Why is that? The purpose is to enable them to operate in those countries with full citizenship rights and even with privileges that exceed those of ordinary citizens. No ordinary citizen in these countries can attain such privileges available to them in every field: economic, administrative, and beyond. And they know how to act—how to infiltrate institutions, permeate sectors, and convert their presence into dominance and control across all sectors. They operate intensively because they have a project, a scheme, and defined goals. Their reality stands in stark contrast to that of the Arab regimes, which lack goals, plans, and causes. Nevertheless, these regimes throw open their doors to the Zionist Jews, who in turn move forward to implement their own objectives that are destructive to this Ummah and align perfectly with the very Zionist agenda. So they focus on this path.

In this same context, land purchases have reached such a point that Zionist companies are buying land in Medina  and acquiring property in the holy city of Mecca! Such is the depth of infiltration—what then of other regions in the Gulf and beyond?! This is pursued with the utmost care and awareness. They proceed as they once did in Palestine—purchasing land and property to establish a foothold that, in turn, gives rise to influence and infiltration across all domains, and eventually asserting control over their surroundings. All of this unfolds with American support and partnership. This is also among the most perilous agendas, for which the doors have been thrown open, obstacles have been removed, and every facility is provided to realise it. This is truly bizarre and reflects a reality of aimlessness in the Arab world!

In addition to all of that, there is a systematic effort to fragment the region's countries into smaller, warring entities under various banners—sectarian, political, and regional. People rally to these banners with enthusiasm, yet remain completely indifferent to the major, great, and sacred causes of the Ummah.

This is evident in some countries where the enemy has succeeded to a certain extent. When the cause is cast in sectarian terms, mass mobilisation follows. Everyone, including tribes, becomes engaged simply because the cause carries a sectarian label. The Israeli enemy works to turn such banners into causes that the peoples of this region passionately embrace and devote themselves to. Nevertheless, when the call is to confront the Israeli enemy—with all its evil, threat, disbelief, injustice, tyranny, and crimes—there is no response at all! Instead, those who take a stand against its absolute evil and danger to the Ummah are met with rejection, discouragement, hostility, and defamation. By contrast, when the cause is sectarian, doctrinal, divisive, or takfiri, one sees mass mobilisation, responsiveness, devotion, fervour, severity, and determined action in every form—active engagement at the highest levels. Political banners are not an exception.

Moreover, there are concerted efforts to overwhelm this region and its peoples with crises on every front, to a truly astonishing extent! One cannot help but be struck by the dynamics of social media in the Arab world, where there is a deliberate attempt to turn every minor or personal issue into a major crisis and a source of tension and hostility—fuelling an atmosphere of extreme discord and division. Every minor or personal issue that finds its way onto social media gives rise to a profoundly troubled reality among our peoples—one steeped in anxiety, conflict, tension, discontent, and resentment even over the simplest matters that could easily be resolved. Many of these matters need not become issues of public concern at all, yet they are amplified to inflame public sentiment with every trivial incident or problem and to distract people from the major and vital issues that could actually help resolve their smaller ones. The result is a society mired in trivialities and details, charged with crises, and saturated with discontent, resentment, and grudges to an astonishing degree. One is left utterly astonished by such a profound state of aimlessness.

The Israeli enemy capitalises on this environment, systematically working to ensure that people forget their major issues and the important solutions, lose sight of their crucial causes, and abandon the correct approaches that could improve their situation, guide their actions in the right direction, and solve their problems.

Consequently, society remains charged with discontent, ill-feeling, and frustration over every conceivable matter. Much of it is fabricated and much else exaggerated, turning trivial issues into major crises, making a mountain out of a molehill.

Why do they use every opportunity in such a way? It is to scatter this Ummah—to erase every sense of unity, cooperation, and positive spirit within any community, until people come to despise and resent one another. Their relationships become poisoned with resentment, complexity, hatred, and hostility. They turn against one another while ignoring their true enemy and the great dangers facing them. For example, people may rush to general mobilisation over a dispute between one tribe and another, hasten to fight, to shed blood, or to rally around minor issues—a criminal case or a particular matter that could easily be settled without violence. Such a state—abnormal, unhealthy, and destructive—only fragments and tears the Ummah apart. This directly serves the Israeli enemy, which remains focused, unwavering in its objectives, its scheme, and the practical paths to accomplish them. 

This is but part of several agendas that preceded Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as part of the campaign to eliminate the Palestinian cause and to realise what they call 'Changing the Middle East'. Whether on the security front, military front, or any other fronts, the enemies work relentlessly, so the prevailing situation in our Ummah is one of comprehensive targeting across every sphere.

Regarding Gaza, the Israeli enemy fled the Gaza Strip in 2005—a victory granted by Allah to the Palestinian mujahidin and the people of Gaza, achieved through their sacrifices, relentless operations, and great efforts. When the Israeli enemy fled the Gaza Strip in 2005, it was not an act of generosity, as Trump claimed when he said that the Israelis had been generous in giving up the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian people. His words made it sound as if they had presented the Gaza Strip as a gift to the Palestinians and as if they were the rightful owners of the land. Yet they were occupiers, aggressors, usurpers, criminals, and oppressors—and they remain so to this day.

The Israeli enemy fled the Gaza Strip in 2005, but it did so with bitterness, unwilling to accept leaving Gaza to its rightful owners, the Palestinian people. Hence, following its withdrawal, it maintained a tight blockade. The blockade lasted eighteen years—a blockade in every sense of the word: Only meagre quantities of food, water, humanitarian aid, and essential goods were permitted to enter. The people endured relentless restrictions in every aspect of life.

The Israeli enemy launched several campaigns of aggression at different stages: in 2008, at the beginning of 2009, in 2011, in 2014, and again in 2021. These were all-out assaults, involving devastating air raids, attempted ground invasions, and the killing of thousands of Palestinian individuals in the Gaza Strip. Such acts of aggression persist to this day.

Before Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there had been preparations, military manoeuvres, and public statements affirming the Israeli enemy's intention to launch a new, destructive all-out assault on the Gaza Strip—clear signs of preparation throughout 2023, before the operation began. At the same time, the Israeli enemy continued its violations across the rest of Palestine and escalated its desecration of the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. This is a very serious matter to the Palestinian people and to the entire Ummah: An assault on the Al-Aqsa Mosque is an assault on the whole Palestinian people, on the Ummah in its entirety, and on its religion, for it is among the holiest of its sacred sites.

Similarly, in the West Bank, assaults and violations continued unabated. This is clearly reflected in the actions of the Israeli enemy prior to the operation of Al-Aqsa Flood.

Prisoners were tortured and persecuted, with no clear prospect for resolving their situation. This is an issue the Palestinian people cannot ignore: They cannot forget their prisoners or leave them in Israeli prisons, where they endure torture, which in some cases leads to martyrdom, and face relentless abuse. There was no prospect at all: no exchange or resolution aimed at their release. In other words, the Israeli enemy was seeking to drive the Palestinian people into despair regarding their prisoners, as there was no prospect of any resolution or exchange, while torture, restrictions, and persecution persist. It is only natural that the Palestinian people should feel deep pain for their prisoners, for they are a living nation, possessing dignity and pride. This applies across all tracks.

Therefore, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood must be understood in its proper context. It is part of a sacred cause, within the faith-driven jihadist path of the Palestinian people, and represents a just and legitimate response. This is an important point to remember, as there is a campaign to distort the facts about this operation in some Arab media outlets, which serve the interests of the Israeli enemy. 

Once again, Operation AlAqsa Flood has full legitimacy. It falls within the Palestinian people's legitimate right to defend themselves, their land, and their holy sites—a responsibility that concerns the entire Ummah. By the grace of Allah (Glory be to Him), the operation achieved unprecedented success in the history of the conflict with the Israeli enemy. Never before, in the Palestinian reality or in the wider Arab history, had there been an operation so successful, especially given the harsh conditions endured by the mujahidin in Gaza:

• a severe blockade,
• limited resources, repeated rounds of targeting from year to year,
• and abandonment by the surrounding Arab states, as well as efforts to oppose the just Palestinian cause in favour of the Israeli enemy and to the detriment of the Ummah as a whole.

Amidst all this, Allah (Glory be to Him) granted the mujahidin in the Gaza Strip success in executing the operation with exceptional, successful performance—a success that delivered a profound shock to the Israeli enemy and all its backers. It drew significant attention and had a highly significant impact. The Israeli enemy was left reeling—staggered and confused—suffering a massive, unprecedented psychological defeat. It was gripped by terror, panic, and astonishment. The scale of the success was evident even in the collapse of the Israeli division tasked with defending against Gaza and the mujahidin there—an entire division fell apart in thirty minutes!

By every military standard, that operation achieved the highest level of success. This was a tremendous divine blessing for the mujahidin of the Al-Qassam Brigades, for those who planned, coordinated, and prepared the operation: They maintained the element of surprise, despite the enemy's intelligence and surveillance capabilities. It was truly a major milestone in the Palestinian people's struggle. The Israeli division facing Gaza suffered a significant and unmistakable collapse. The footage released of the operation was clear and compelling. The great confusion of the Israeli enemy and the scale of shock and terror were evident.

In the wake of that great success and major breakthrough, Muslims across the Arab world and beyond had a duty to act immediately to support the Palestinian people and to use this achievement to effectively pressure the Israeli enemy and establish critically important new realities. The opportunity to do so was available.

I swear by Allah, it was a great and important opportunity for Muslims, if only they had fulfilled their Islamic, humanitarian, and moral duties and moved at once to back the Palestinian people in their operation. They should have supported them at every level—diplomatic, media, economic, and more. That was what ought to have been done; it was their duty. It was an opportunity for all Muslims to act. Through that historic opportunity, Allah had opened a vast and promising horizon, ready to be seized, and Muslims should have seized it and provided the Palestinian people with the Islamic support and assistance they rightly deserved from the Arab world and beyond.

Nonetheless, they immediately chose to stand by idly. Some regimes even adopted extremely negative positions, going so far as to incite the Americans and Israelis against the Palestinian people. It was a deeply saddening situation, revealing the reality of an ummah that has become shackled—unable even to seize and exploit truly great, historic, and rare opportunities. Squandering such chances poses a danger to the Ummah, for divine consequences follow when significant opportunities are wasted. An example of this is the story of the Children of Israel in history, when they had the opportunity to enter a village but disobeyed the command of Allah (Glory be to Him): {'Allah replied, "Then this land is forbidden to them for forty years, during which they will wander through the land. So do not grieve for the rebellious people"'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:26].

It incurs severe consequences for the Ummah when it squanders opportunities to fulfil and respond to Allah’s commands and to carry out its responsibilities in matters that are for its own good and can lead to solutions and achievements.

Some Arab regimes stood idly by and even resorted to offensive language and incitement. In contrast, who took the initiative? It was the enemies of this Ummah—those who lack the values and principles embedded in the faith, Quran, and path of this Ummah, if only it remained firmly connected to Allah’s guidance, His teachings, His Book, and to following and emulating His Messenger (PBUH&F). It was the Americans and the Zionists, with all their arms, who took the lead in an unprecedented manner, for the Americans regard themselves as the chief patron of the Israeli enemy, alongside major European powers including Britain, France, and Germany. They were the ones who took the initiative. Yet, in truth, it was this Ummah who should have taken the initiative, as Allah commands it to do so: {'Hurry towards your Lord's forgiveness and a Jannah as wide as the heavens and earth'}[Ali 'Imran 3:133]. This Ummah should have hastened to take such a noble and just stance and fulfil its religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibility that brings good and defends it. Yet those Arabs and Muslims faltered, while those who stand upon falsehood, injustice, and aggression—the allies of Satan—were the ones who acted first, rushing to support the Israeli enemy.

The scale of the American, Western, and global Zionist response truly reveals the profound impact of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the immense shock it caused: It was like a massive earthquake striking the Israeli enemy and its backers. The Americans themselves recognised that Israel was on the brink of collapse—in a state of shock, psychological defeat, and utter confusion. That is why the Americans took the lead with a massive and immediate initiative, joined by the British, Germans, French, and Italians. They all mobilised support at every level, with America at the forefront—the most visible and proactive—working across all fronts. As always, America spearheads the Zionist-Western movement in support of the Israeli enemy and against our Islamic Ummah, operating along two parallel paths, with Western powers contributing with all their capabilities at every level.

First, America provided every conceivable form of support to the Israeli enemy. Militarily, it immediately established an airlift to deliver all kinds of weapons and lethal military materiel to the Israeli enemy and sent military advisers and numerous US officers and experts to participate directly in managing the military situation at all levels. It mobilised forces to the region at sea in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Gulf, and elsewhere. It also activated its bases across the lands of our Ummah, in Arab and Muslim states, to assist Israel with supplies from stockpiles, operational support, and surveillance. It acted with seriousness and urgency at every level. This is the level of commitment and urgency that should have come from the Arabs and Muslims themselves; instead, it was left to those oppressors and criminals who stand for falsehood and aggression.

In addition, there was comprehensive political and media support. Heads of state showed their solidarity with high-profile visits:

• Biden, despite his advanced age and well-known mental and physical health issues, personally travelled to occupied Palestine and joined the Zionists and the Israeli enemy to declare solidarity from there, alongside the practical support already being provided.
• The French president, for his part, used the phrase 'You are not alone,' affirming to the Zionists that France stands shoulder to shoulder with them.
• The British leadership also acted to show solidarity, sending delegations at the highest official levels, supplying weapons and ammunition, dispatching surveillance aircraft, and participating in every conceivable way, including sending military experts.

Likewise, the French, Italians, and others provided economic and financial assistance, munitions, bombs, experts, intelligence, and a sustained presence across the region. They demonstrated this degree of initiative, concern, and seriousness for causes that are unjust and grounded in colonial and arrogant ambitions. Yet we have not mobilised within the framework of a just cause to defend ourselves, our Ummah, our religion, and our worldly affairs—a truly lamentable situation!

The other path is to immobilise this Ummah. This is carried out by regimes whose role is to restrain the Ummah, appearing at the forefront, yet taking no real action. They do nothing but hold summits and issue statements, with the highest form of action being declarations and statements without any practical measures at any level—not even diplomatic or economic boycotts, nor any other non-military action or support. They have failed even to provide basic humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, such as infant formula, bread, wheat, and other essential food supplies.

It would have been entirely possible for the Rafah crossing to open from day one, backed by Arab and Islamic support, with the entire Ummah rallying around Egypt to fulfil this role and ensure all necessary food and humanitarian aid reached the Palestinian people. This is an internationally recognised right. However, the official position of the Islamic world has been determined by American criteria, restricting any meaningful or effective initiative, so that the highest response is reduced to statements, summits, and conferences—just ink on paper, voices in the air—with no tangible action, not even at the lowest level.

The Arab states have continued to observe this American-imposed ceiling in their official positions, remaining within these bounds. They did not take any practical steps against the Israeli enemy, nor did they change their relations with it. Admittedly, a few Arab states have adopted notable positions, such as closing their airspace or severing diplomatic ties, but the major regimes in our Arab region and the broader Islamic world—with the exception of the Axis of Resistance that has taken another, more supportive path towards the Palestinian people, which we will address—have intensified their economic support for the Israeli enemy to levels never seen before. If we consider the figures, how many ships have departed from Saudi and Egyptian ports? Goods dispatched from the UAE and Turkey? The numbers are remarkably high. The same applies to Bahrain, under the Al Khalifa regime, a regime that is traitorous, hostile, and unjust to its own people. Current figures have surpassed those of previous periods in the volume of goods reaching the Israeli enemy.

They have made it a priority to maintain diplomatic relations, ensuring that no practical step is taken at any level against the Israeli enemy. This is part of the American plan: to prevent and contain any reaction from the Islamic and Arab world, while at the same time mobilising unprecedented support for the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people and seeking to isolate the Gaza Strip.

On this basis, their policy shifted towards what is truly the crime of the century—a crime whose aims extend far beyond military confrontation. With the full partnership of America, Britain’s involvement, and multi-faced backing from major European countries, Israel’s actions in Gaza have far surpassed mere military operations against the mujahidin and resistance in Gaza. Rather, they have pursued an entirely different course—one with explicit objectives:

• The complete occupation of the Gaza Strip;
• The comprehensive destruction of Gaza;
• The forced and total displacement of the Palestinian people from Gaza;
• The absolute elimination of Palestinian resistance in Gaza;
• Working towards recovering their captives without any exchange, in order to keep Palestinian captives and abductees in Israeli prisons.

This is the clear objective that defines their crime of the century against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. On this foundation, they have resorted to genocide, comprehensive aggression, starvation, and criminal acts in what has become the greatest scandal to expose the Israeli enemy and its supporters, especially the Americans.

Yet, in the face of this assault—with all its brutality, criminality, and tyranny—and amid the profound Arab and Islamic inaction of the Palestinian people, the steadfastness demonstrated by Gaza’s people and their mujahidin brothers has been nothing short of extraordinary and unprecedented. They showed remarkable resilience in the face of genocide, starvation, destruction, indiscriminate killing, and thirst. Despite enduring the harshest forms of pressure, aggression, and criminality inflicted by the Israeli enemy in full partnership with America, they remained steadfast. Though forced to move from one area to another—from north to south—they have remained resolute and refused to leave the Gaza Strip. Even when it opened the way for them to depart Gaza and leave occupied Palestine, they clung to their right and refused to leave Gaza. They have endured an injustice without parallel, daily documented and broadcast by the media to the entire world: the crime of the century, witnessed by all.

The fellow mujahidin demonstrated exceptional resilience and unmatched steadfastness as they fulfilled their duty of jihad for the sake of Allah, confronting the brutal Israeli aggression with remarkable courage and devotion:

• They confronted the Israeli enemy at point-blank range, clashing with those who call themselves 'the Israeli army'—criminal gangs in reality.
• They advanced on tanks to place explosive devices.
• They engaged in every form of combat, including bombardment and improvised explosive devices, and they worked tirelessly and endured tremendous sacrifices among leaders and other mujahidin at every level, embodying the Quranic verse: {'And they did not waver regardless of that which afflicted them in the way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor did they give in'}[Ali 'Imran 3:146].

With Western and American support, the Israeli enemy once used to win its wars with major Arab armies in a matter of hours or days, as in the so-called 'Six-Day War'. Yet it now finds itself in genuine crisis: Even with partnership and unlimited backing from America, Western support, and some assistance from certain Arab regimes, it has failed completely. Despite resorting to all-out aggression, genocidal tactics, and comprehensive targeting, it has been unable to secure victory or achieve its previously mentioned objectives:

• complete control over Gaza,
• the elimination of the resistance,
• recovering captives without a prisoner exchange;
• the forced displacement of the Palestinian people, and more.

This failure has persisted for two years. Israel has suffered significant losses and faced a crisis in manpower—so much so that it even considered recruiting Jews from the West and elsewhere. It has truly found itself in a predicament.

For two years, amid all the force and arrogance of Israeli aggression, genocide, the relentless assault, and the suffocating blockade—so severe that even baby formula was prevented from entering, let alone military supplies for the mujahidin—the steadfastness of the resistance has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a result, the Israeli enemy failed:

• It did not recover its captives without an exchange.
• It could not eliminate the resistance.
• It did not manage to forcibly displace the Palestinian people or expel them entirely from Gaza.
• It could not accomplish any of its other announced objectives.

The situation is one of failure, yet it is also a worldwide scandal. The Israeli enemy has been exposed before the peoples and nations of the world in its true, hideous reality: a savage, criminal entity, utterly lacking in human and moral values, bound by none of the norms recognised among humanity—neither religious values, nor laws, nor conventions. It denies every right and has displayed unprecedented levels of brutality and criminality:

• in the way it treats even children and women, the elderly and the young;
• in its relentless practice of genocide by every available means;
• in its denial of infant formula to babies;
• in its deliberate targeting and killing of civilians through every method of murder and extermination;
• in its commission of every kind of crime, perfecting its cruelty in shocking ways.

This has provoked global outrage, especially among all free people and those of conscience across the world:

• Demonstrations and marches have erupted, even in Europe and America, with particularly large and impactful protests in some European countries, reaching as far as Australia.
• There have also been courageous stances from peoples, governments, and leaders in various countries—such as in Latin America, Venezuela, Colombia, South Africa, and across Africa—on every continent.
• People of conscience have mobilised in persistent and growing demonstrations, protests, and rallies.
• Even within American society, especially among the youth, perspectives on the Israeli enemy have changed. For decades, a culture of glorifying Zionist Jews, denying the Palestinian cause, and providing unconditional support for Israel had prevailed. Now, in some surveys, up to half, or even more, view Israel as a criminal oppressor, a brute, a killer of children and women, and an entity that is contemptuous of the core human values shared by all human societies. This shift has tarnished both Israel’s and America’s reputation around the globe.

Netanyahu himself has become a wanted criminal, subject to international courts and barred from travelling to many countries. Indeed, he is now viewed as a criminal by global consensus. The American official position on this holds no weight, for the ruling Zionist establishment in America is part of the same Zionist orientation. Such is the global discontent as has never been seen before in the history of the conflict with the Israeli enemy.

Within our Islamic Ummah, the Axis of Jihad, Al-Quds, and resistance has set itself apart by its sincere and steadfast position in supporting the Palestinian people—going so far as to open new fronts. Starting with the Lebanese support front, this front made the greatest sacrifices in support of the Palestinian people and engaged in the fiercest, most intense battles with the Israeli enemy. It led in terms of sacrifice, engagement, and wearing down the Israeli enemy, entering extraordinarily fierce confrontations. It played a significant and impactful role in this battle. Its contribution has been so significant that no other party can claim to have offered such a level of support. It made the greatest sacrifices, fought the most brutal battles, and inflicted major losses on the Israeli enemy.

There was also significant support from the Iraqi fronts. The Islamic Republic of Iran also provided all forms of support and remained constant in its backing for the resistance. It even engaged directly with the Israeli enemy, launching the True Promise operation and delivering a missile strike of unprecedented scale in the history of the conflict with this enemy. This culminated in an open war that lasted twelve days between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Israeli enemy, following an Israeli assault on Iran—an assault supported and ultimately joined by the Americans.

As for the Yemeni support front, it has mobilised significantly from the outset, embodying the spirit of initiative called for by our Islamic faith. In fact, such a spirit is deeply rooted in the Yemeni people’s human, religious, and faith-based values, forming an integral part of their identity. This is encapsulated in the words of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&F): 'The belief is that of the Yemenites, and sagacity is that of the Yemenites.'

What set the Yemeni support front apart has been its comprehensive mobilisation, both officially and at the grassroots level, marked by readiness to use full force, steadfastness, and continuity. These are important defining features of the Yemeni position. It is also rooted in faith. Despite the significant geographical distance and the many complexities involved in supporting the Palestinian people, Yemeni mobilisation has proved to be extraordinary and comprehensive.

Public momentum has been manifested in marches, demonstrations, rallies, symposia, and mass mobilisation—reaching levels unprecedented not only in Yemen’s history, but also across the region and the world. Such widespread mobilisation and momentum has never been seen before: numerous weekly demonstrations involving millions, public gatherings and symposia, and countless activities, accompanied by significant military mobilisation, which is one of the most crucial paths.

Efforts were also made at the military level. We carried out military operations, followed by a bold, momentous, and highly effective move to prohibit Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, the Bab Al-Mandab strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea. This was a historic step, accomplished by the grace of Allah (Glory be to Him), and it was met with divine support and complete success.

This notable achievement is strategically significant in the wider conflict with the Israeli enemy and for the region as a whole. We have successfully managed to impose blockade on the Israeli enemy and hit ships carrying goods for the Israelis; some were sunk, and many ships were attacked, until the ban was fully and successfully established.

When it comes to missile and drone operations against Israeli targets deep into occupied Palestine, we have faced multiple challenges. Foremost among them is the vast distance of over two thousand kilometres; in addition, five layers of defensive belts are established to protect the Israeli enemy. Within occupied Palestine itself, there are also multi-layered missile defence systems, installed by the Israelis in partnership with the Americans, to defend against missile and drone attacks.

Despite these obstacles, operations have continued with great success and have had a tangible impact on the Israelis: millions of Zionists were forced to take shelter; air traffic was severely disrupted, as many international airlines halted their services to occupied Palestine; and the economic impact has been substantial. The maritime blockade in the Red Sea and all the way up to the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, has severely disrupted the Israeli economy, rendering the so-called 'port of Eilat' (Umm Al-Rashrash) entirely inoperative, with all the genuine, evident, and significant repercussions for the Israeli economy. Strategically, this defied the new reality that the Americans sought to impose on our Ummah to prevent any action in support of the Palestinian people.

In this context, our people faced successive rounds of American, British, and Israeli aggression: the first, led by the Americans and Britons, lasted for a long period; the second followed under Trump, marked by a dramatic escalation, yet our people endured and remained steadfast. Sacrifices were made at every level, even up to the martyrdom of the government itself, with losses among both soldiers and civilians—yet our people have remained resolute and unyielding. Our people also faced economic warfare and conspiracies that targeted them even at the humanitarian level; nevertheless, they showed patience and never wavered from their position.

Our people also remained steadfast in the face of the offensive media campaign aimed at casting doubt on their stance and employing psychological warfare and pressure to force them to abandon their stance. Much of this campaign was carried out by Zionist Arabic-speaking mouthpieces, as Arab regimes mobilised their entire media resources to support the Israelis and attack Yemen’s position. Proxies in all forms worked tirelessly, day and night, as mouthpieces for the Zionists, but ultimately, they failed miserably.

Conspiracies to undermine national security also failed to influence our people's resolve. Many conspiracies were organised to undermine the social fabric under numerous deceptive pretexts, but they were totally unsuccessful, as our people showed remarkable steadfastness.

Since the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood, by Allah's grace, the military operations have been carried out with 1,835 missiles and drones, including ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles, as well as air and sea drones. This is a considerable achievement, especially given our people’s circumstances, limited economic resources, and the ordeals of ten years of war and siege.

Popular mobilisation reached extraordinary levels:

• 49,354 demonstrations, with 1,480 marches and demonstrations in the past week alone.
• 94,478 events.
• 549,769 symposia.
• 81,878 evening gatherings.
• 350,633 student rallies at universities and schools, a phenomenon unparalleled in the Arab and Islamic worlds.
• 317,785 tribal and community gatherings.
• 1,103,647 graduates from Al-Aqsa Flood military courses, a significant and valuable reserve, with 132,046 trainees having completed the second level, which is an advanced training level.
• 5,148 military manoeuvres.
• 1,349 military parades.
• 3,362 military marches.

Such unprecedented momentum and mobilisation have all been undertaken in solidarity with the Palestinian people and as a testament to our steadfast commitment.

Our people have shown remarkable steadfastness in their position: They have never wavered, faltered, tired, or grown weary. Instead, they have continued with exceptional vigour, unflagging energy, and unparalleled enthusiasm, demonstrating a clear emotional, humanitarian, and religious engagement. Just look at the demonstrations—the chants, raised fists, cries, and expressions on their faces, and the sincere manner in which the demonstrators express themselves. Look at the sacrifices, and listen to the words of the families of martyrs, all of which sincerely reflect the extraordinary steadfastness of our people and their pursuit of Allah's pleasure.

Driven by faith and Quranic understanding, our people have embarked on a great mission and a sacred jihad in the path of Allah (Glory be to Him), in resistance to the subjugation of this Ummah. They are fully aware that the entire Ummah is concerned with this battle and that threat looms over everyone, as the Zionist project seeks to subjugate all these peoples. They know that establishing a reality of unchecked aggression against everything—blood, honour, wealth, sanctities, religion, identity, land, and resources—means imposing an extremely dangerous and satanic reality. They fully understand that accepting such a reality would mean forfeiting human dignity, faith-based pride, freedom, independence, and everything of value in society and to humanity itself.

That is why our people refused to accept such a reality: They stood firm, made sacrifices, grew in awareness, and enhanced their military capabilities. As a result of this stance, our people are not on the losing side. Their military strength, awareness, faith, resilience, and solid foundations are stronger than ever, and their presence is more tangible than at any stage in the past.

• They have become capable of manufacturing both cluster and non-cluster hypersonic missiles.
• They have developed a range of highly effective drones that have attracted global attention through their operations.
• They have attained significant naval capabilities of a globally recognised impact.

During naval confrontations, the Americans officially acknowledged that they had faced a challenge unmatched since the Second World War, one of unprecedented ferocity. Clear realities, results, and admissions all attest to this. The global impact and resonance of this effort are unmistakably evident.

All of this is the result of our people’s trust in Allah and their unwavering commitment to fulfilling their religious, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities.

Regarding yesterday's announced agreement, the deal demonstrates the failure of the Israeli enemy and its American supporters to achieve their objectives during this two-year campaign marked by genocide, systematic starvation, comprehensive destruction, and the killing of thousands of women and children throughout Gaza. Indeed, the Israelis and their partners in all crimes—the Americans—have failed on multiple fronts: primarily in retrieving prisoners without a prisoner exchange, in eliminating resistance, in forcing Palestinian displacement from Gaza, and in achieving their other strategic objectives through their comprehensive aggression.

This failure compelled them to sign and accept this agreement. However, as we stated earlier, this is just one round. Thus, the conflict with the Israeli enemy continues, and the destructive role of the Americans in advancing the Zionist agenda also endures. Therefore, we shall maintain complete vigilance and full readiness, closely monitoring the implementation phase of this agreement. Will it truly lead to ending the aggression against Gaza and allowing aid, food, medicine, humanitarian necessities, and goods to enter for the Palestinian people? Will the Americans and Israelis stop the genocide against the Palestinian people and commit to a ceasefire? This is what we hope for; it was our goal behind the support operations to confront the assault on the Palestinian people, which is, in reality, an assault on our entire Ummah.

It is crucial to remain aware that this is just one round, and that the enemies are continuing with their schemes, conspiracies, and ambitions, which take many forms. The issue is not merely about this round of genocide against Gaza; it concerns Palestine in its entirety. It is about the continued American and Israeli targeting of this Ummah and their relentless pursuit of every deceptive method, conspiracy, and plan to eliminate the Palestinian cause. The Israeli enemy is preparing for the next rounds, and even now, we do not know if the Israeli assaults on our country or the rest of the region will cease, or if they will persist within this round.

We all know what the Israelis do after every round—just look at their previous assaults on Lebanon and Gaza. After every round, they prepare for a new aggression. That is why, even if a ceasefire is achieved, we must remain prepared for the inevitable upcoming rounds, given the aggressive agenda of the enemies of this Ummah—after all, they are enemies in every sense of the word.

Allah told us in the Holy Quran that they are enemies to us, and that they are the most hostile: {'You will surely find the most serious of mankind in enmity to the believers to be the Jews'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:82]. He also told us what they wish for our Ummah: He said that they {'want you [believers], too, to lose the right path'}[An-Nisa 4:44], and {'They strive to spread corruption on the earth'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:64]. We are targeted by their evil, their corruption, their misleading, their tyranny, and their satanic soft war on the intellectual, cultural, psychological, and moral levels. We are also targeted by their hard war, their economic war, and their propaganda war—by all forms of warfare. They are relentlessly targeting this Ummah in every field. Thus, the struggle continues and remains intense in its broad sense.

If their goal is to destroy this Ummah, turn its people into slaves to themselves rather than to Allah, erase its religious identity, and impose a policy of unchecked aggression against everything—blood, honour, wealth, resources, homelands, sanctities—then our policy should focus on seeking liberation from them and repelling their evil. We must strive to expel them from this region and achieve full independence for our Ummah, as well as deterrence and immunity from their tyranny, criminality, and aggression. We must work towards liberating Palestine and the sacred sites in Palestine, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque, among other things.

Therefore, we must be at the highest levels of caution and readiness, continuing with our immense momentum and rallying around the Palestinian people, to see if the results of this agreement are realised, in which case it will be a blessing—it is what we hope for. Otherwise, we continue on our path of support and backing, always ensuring it escalates, with even greater strength. We must also work relentlessly day and night to develop our military capabilities and counter any advancements the enemy makes in its technologies and military capabilities.

The Friday million-strong demonstrations tomorrow should, Allah willing, be massive. Tomorrow marks the culmination of two years of widespread mobilisation, in which our dear people, with their faith-driven identity, have responded to Allah’s command: {'Mobilise, light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and yourselves in the way of Allah. That is better for you, if you only knew'}[At-Tawbah 9:41]. Indeed, we have witnessed much good from this mobilisation:

• It has enhanced our capabilities at all levels and raised our awareness.
• We have experienced human and spiritual growth, especially in terms of values and morals.
• We have established our presence on the global stage, as this movement has resonated around the world.
• We have upheld faith-inspired dignity and resilience, while firmly consolidating genuine liberation and independence, both in principle and practice.
• We have also cast off the burdens of American hegemony and defy the grip of the American disbelievers on this Ummah.
• We have also embodied faith-driven pride and human dignity in every sense of the word.

Tomorrow’s mass demonstrations will mark the culmination of two years of steadfastness—two years of sincerity with Allah and responsiveness to Him, the Almighty. It is a significant and noble moment, one that comes within the most honourable stance, in service of a sacred and great cause. Serving such a cause for the sake of Allah is truly a jihad in His cause.

Considering the extraordinary two-year mobilisation of our people—unprecedented worldwide, marked by vast activity and tremendous momentum in both scale and substance—this effort should be crowned tomorrow with a massive and remarkable turnout truly worthy of our people. Ours is a people of honour, profound values, lofty morals, and a faith-based identity, all sincerely demonstrated in both word and deed through supporting the Palestinian people and confronting the oppressive, godless Zionist tyranny, which is nothing but evil, criminality, and aggression.

I call upon our dear people to participate tomorrow, Allah willing, in massive demonstrations for the sake of Allah. This has to do with reaffirming our steadfastness in this position and maintaining this powerful momentum of support, particularly at this crucial juncture where it is of utmost importance to continue backing the Palestinian people, including by exerting pressure for the implementation of the agreement. This is also meant to congratulate the Palestinian people and their mujahidin and to crown two years of unparalleled, remarkable mobilisation in the public squares.

I call for a massive turnout in the capital, Sana'a, and across all governorates and public squares. Allah willing, tomorrow’s turnout will be massive and significant, since it holds extraordinary importance at this time, as I have already emphasised. We will observe the situation and even keep a close watch on the events as they unfold. We will respond to new developments and comment on them if necessary. We will keep a close watch on the situation during these days, maintaining full coordination with our Palestinian brothers, as well as with the Axis and all free people around the world.

We ask Allah (Glory be to Him) to grant us success in seeking what pleases Him. O Allah! Have mercy on our virtuous martyrs, heal the wounded among us, set free our captives, and grant us victory. You are the All-Hearer of prayer.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
