Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, added: ‘After this steadfastness of the noble and great people of Gaza, to whom we belong and from whom we draw our strength, and after this epic written by our fighters and our resistance that shattered the arrogance of the enemy and rubbed its nose in the dirt, Gaza, the great, deserves our salute as the maker of men and the conqueror of invaders, as he described it.
“No exchange deals before the cessation of aggression.”
And the leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades, their spokesperson, reiterated in his speech that there would be ‘no prisoner exchange deals before the cessation of aggression on our people.’ He emphasized that the top priority for the Palestinian resistance ‘is to stop the aggression on our people, and no priority takes precedence over that, and no exchange deals will be accepted before the complete cessation of aggression on our people.
“The Deal of the Century”
He pointed to the resilience of the Palestinian people and the steadfastness of the resistance fighters in the field, confirming that they delivered the “Deal of the Century” to the occupation, stating, “We told the world that we are a people seeking justice and freedom in life.”
