❗️Hamas Leader Mahmoud Mardawi:
– "The issue of Jerusalem and Palestine will remain the central cause of the nation and its unwavering compass, despite all attempts at erasure and marginalization."
– "On International Quds Day, the Palestinian cause resurfaces with strength—not as a passing political issue but as a struggle for liberation and human dignity."
– "The cause of Jerusalem is renewed with every wave of violence in Gaza, every uprising in the West Bank, every act of solidarity, and every protest in the diaspora. The cause has not died; rather, it continues to grow stronger despite all attempts to eliminate it."
– "Our people in Gaza are enduring one of the most brutal periods in their history, facing continuous aggression, massacres, and a suffocating humanitarian crisis amid international silence and regional complicity. Yet, they remain steadfast, holding onto their land and rights, resisting an unrelenting machine of death and destruction with unbreakable resilience and unwavering determination."
– "The ongoing resistance reaffirms that Palestinians—from Gaza to the West Bank, from occupied territories to refugee camps—stand united in their struggle, using different means but pursuing the same goal: complete liberation from occupation, return to their land, and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital."
– "Jerusalem is not merely a political capital; it is a sacred symbol, a historical and unifying identity for the entire nation. Any concession on it or silence over its Judaization is a betrayal of the martyrs' sacrifices, the history of nations, and the long-absent justice."
– "I call upon the Arab and Islamic nations—its people, institutions, and elites—to break the silence and move beyond symbolic statements toward concrete action that restores Palestine, Jerusalem, and the central cause of the nation."
– "In recent times, various initiatives and proposals have emerged aiming at de-escalation, halting aggression, and implementing humanitarian and political measures, including a withdrawal from Gaza, prisoner exchanges, reconstruction, and lifting the blockade."
– "Palestinian factions have engaged with these initiatives responsibly and seriously. However, the occupation has reneged on its commitments, violated agreements with mediators, and resumed its policies of killing and escalation."
– "This betrayal not only exposes the arrogance of the occupier but also presents the international community with a critical test: either uphold justice and the rule of law or continue the double standards that threaten stability, not only in Palestine but across the entire region."
– "The resistance remains ready to continue its struggle and negotiations with full responsibility to achieve its objectives. Resistance has never been senseless; it has always been a legitimate path against oppression and a road to justice and liberation."
– "The time has come to restore Palestinian rights and pave the way for a just and comprehensive solution that ends the occupation and ensures freedom and dignity for a struggling people."
❗️Palestinian Red Crescent Society:
– "For the fifth consecutive day, the fate of nine Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics remains unknown after being besieged and targeted by occupation forces in Rafah."
– "We express deep concern for the safety of its teams and holds the occupation authorities fully responsible for their fate."
– "We call on the international community to urgently intervene to allow rescue teams access to the Tal al-Sultan area in Rafah to determine the fate of the missing paramedics. Additionally, we urge immediate international protection for our teams operating in Gaza."
A wild Pikachu was spotted among those who were running away from Turkish police, who were firing tear gas at demonstrators.
