Sheikh Qassem Congratulates Al-Hayya on His Election as Hamas Politburo Chief: Hezbollah Stands by You

Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem sent a congratulatory letter to the new chief of Hamas politburo on his fresh election, affirming that the Party stands by the resistance, Gaza, and Palestinian cause.

Despite the Israeli criminality, Sheikh Qassem affirmed looking to the future with the promised hope of victory.

What follows is the full text of the message:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

To the Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas,
Mr. Khalil Al-Hayya
May the Almighty protect you.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.

Your election as Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas, amid the difficult Israeli-American aggressive circumstances suffered by the Palestinian people, Gaza, and the entire region, is an expression of steadfastness, determination, and will to keep the flame of resistance alive. The Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas represents the most prominent of its jihadist and sacrificing factions, for the noblest cause in our contemporary time: the liberation of Jerusalem and Palestine from the cancerous tumor, the Israeli entity.

We see in your leadership — you, with your decades-long jihadist field history and as the father of martyrs — a continuation of the martyred leaders. At their forefront are the founder His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Yassin (may Allah have mercy on him), Hajj Ismail Haniyeh (may Allah have mercy on him), Commander Yahya Sinwar (may Allah have mercy on him), the jihadist leaders, the sons of the Hamas movement, and the Palestinian people, in pursuing the path of the holy resistance. This is in cooperation with the Palestinian factions and with the contributions of the jihadist and steadfast Palestinian people.

We affirm to you that we in Hezbollah and its Islamic Resistance stand by you. We support you and back you in your jihad and your goals to restore the land and the rights, upon the covenant drawn by our most exalted martyr, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the noble martyrs.

We are the sons of the sacred and beloved vision that directs the compass toward Jerusalem and Palestine — a vision solidified by the late holy Imam Khomeini (may Allah sanctify his secret), and by the Leading Imam on the path of Palestine, the supporter of the oppressed and backer of the resistance, Martyr Khamenei (may Allah sanctify his secret).

All of us have faced the war of the Israeli entity and the American tyrant with steadfastness and sacrifice. And despite three years having passed since Al-Aqsa Flood, this enemy has not been able to achieve its goals of genocide, ending the resistance, or forcing the resistance to surrender.
This criminality has left destruction and the killing of women, children, and life itself. But it has ignited the commitment to safeguard the trust: liberation and dignity.

We look to the future with the promised hope of victory. Allah Almighty said:
“Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand.” (Ghafir: 51)

May Allah Almighty grant you success in this noble mission until victory and liberation, by Allah’s permission.
