Ismail Haniyeh: "We are confident that this aggression will be shattered, and it will be vanquished and driven out of our land, regardless of how long it takes, the blood of the martyrs and the wounded, the suffering of [our] prisoners, and the burdens of the displacement will not be in vain, Allah willing.

"We must be together in this and stand as one to defeat the enemy. We must close ranks together with Gaza, and in all our cities and villages in the West Bank, and in the occupied land inside [Israel].

"We must rise in the face of the enemy. The free Palestinian people should mobilize on all the fronts – in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, and in the places in the diaspora, where they live as refugees. They need to escalate the confrontation in order to end this brutal aggression, and to accomplish our plan of liberation and the return of the refugees."
