Haniyeh: Arab, Islamic Nations’ Support Leads to Liberation of Palestine

Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Palestinian government in Gaza, stressed, during a meeting with “Miles of Smiles 19” convoy, that the liberation of Palestine could be achieved only with the help of Arab and Islamic nation.

Haniyeh met on Monday with “Miles of Smiles 19” convoy which comprised about 150 activists from various Arab and Islamic countries, in his home in al-Shati camp West of Gaza City, PIC reported.

Haniyeh praised the delegates who visited the Gaza Strip and contributed significantly to break the siege on the Gaza Strip.

He pointed out that Palestine was throughout history the unity of the nation, saying “Whenever the nation was fine, Palestine would be fine.”

Palestine is still under occupation but it works today to achieve victory and liberation through resistance and through the nation’s renaissance, he said.

Despite the Arab and Islamic countries’ internal difficulties and problems, they all unite behind Palestine which is the first Qiblah in Islam, he added.

Haniyeh stressed that this convoy, including the nation’s scientists and members of the Palestinian people in the diaspora, is clear evidence to the failure of the Israeli strategy to undermine the people of Gaza through the siege.

He stressed that history has changed after Shale Stones war, pointing out that “Palestine’s victory is the nation’s victory that brings us closer to Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.”

Haniyeh greeted Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and all the Palestinian camps everywhere, insisting on the Palestinian adherence to the right of return.

He thanked Dr Essam Youssef, General Coordinator of the Miles of Smiles convoys, insisting that such convoys reinforce the steadfastness of the Palestinian people.

He concluded by saying that the Palestinian people will continue resisting as long as the nation’s support continues.
