He added that Hamas’ mission of destroying Israel is a justified mission, emphasizing that Israel no longer deserves the right to exist.

Scott Ritter pointed out that he encourages Hamas to continue exerting pressure on this evil entity called the Zionist Israeli state, as he stated.

He highlighted that Israel claims to be more important than international law and justifies killing anyone it wants to stay alive.

Scott Ritter affirmed that if Israel wants to be part of the international community, it must adhere to the standards of that community.

Intelligence assessments confirm the growing credibility of Hamas

It is noted that a wave of new analyses conducted by American intelligence agencies recently confirmed that the credibility of the Hamas movement and its influence has been growing significantly in the Middle East and beyond during the past two months since the Al-Aqsa Tempest operation.

According to the American intelligence analyses, Hamas has succeeded in presenting itself as the only group fighting against a cruel oppressor who kills women and children.

Informed American officials, familiar with various assessments, state that the movement has succeeded in positioning itself in some parts of the Arab and Islamic world as a defender of the Palestinian cause and an effective fighter against Israel.

A survey among Palestinians showed an increase in support for Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which has been under continuous Israeli aggression. At the same time, there was overwhelming rejection of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, with nearly 90% stating that he should resign.

According to the poll conducted by the “Palestinian Center for Political and Survey Research” in cooperation with the “Konrad Adenauer” Foundation in Ramallah, “Support for Hamas in the West Bank tripled compared to what it was before the war.”

According to the survey, nearly 70% of Palestinians called for the dissolution of the Palestinian Authority, and 90% of Palestinians believed that President Abbas should resign.
