Hamas Political Bureau member Osama Hamdan said in a video that was posted to SamaQuds on YouTube on October 11, 2024 that achieving victory and living in freedom and dignity comes with a price, but that living in humiliation comes with an even greater price. He said that living in submission and obedience is a despicable, insignificant, and worthless existence, and that when you fight the enemy, at least he knows that he is also paying a price, and he does not have the same faith and conviction that you have. He also said that for the enemy, Palestine is merely a place to lead a pleasant and happy life, and that if the enemy suffers enough losses, it will ultimately lose and surrender.
