Speaking to Ilke News Agency (ILKHA) on the first anniversary of Operation Al Aqsa Flood, Bashir invoked divine blessings for the people of Gaza, expressing hope for their victory, strength, and solace amidst their suffering. He stated: “We ask Allah to grant the people of Gaza victory, strength, glory, consolation and reward, alleviate their suffering, cover their shame and turn their fear into confidence.”

Dr. Bashir's reflections on the past year illuminate the resilience displayed by the people of Gaza against a relentless Zionist military campaign. He emphasized that the events of the Aqsa Flood revealed the profound heroism exhibited by the Gazan resistance, which has endured under severe oppression and international neglect. "The people of Gaza are heroes who made history with their blood," he remarked, highlighting the sacrifices made in the defense of their homeland.

The Aqsa Flood, as Dr. Bashir described, was not merely a conflict but a monumental struggle against overwhelming odds. “The whole of Gaza has continued to resist the alliance of world powers supporting this genocide and the continued betrayal of its neighbors,” he asserted. The event showcased the indomitable spirit of the Gazans, who resisted not only with weapons but with unwavering faith in their cause. “The mujahideen wrote the most epic feats of heroism in defense of blood, honor, land and, above all, Al-Aqsa,” he said, noting that this was accomplished with modest resources, which only amplifies their remarkable courage.

Dr. Bashir lauded the people of Gaza as a beacon of steadfastness, stating that their struggle embodies concepts of honor and dignity. He remarked that the past year has been a testament to their unity and resilience amid severe hardships, such as hunger, thirst, and disease. “They bore the burden of heavy losses and withstood great hardships with faith, patience, courage and rare heroism,” he noted, affirming that the people of Gaza have become an exemplary model of resistance against oppression.

The ongoing conflict has not been without its atrocities, as Dr. Bashir pointed out the numerous war crimes committed against the Palestinian people. He condemned these acts as attempts to erase Palestinian identity and silence dissent. “The enemy committed all kinds of war crimes to destroy the Palestinian identity, usurp Al-Aqsa Mosque and silence the voice of truth,” he declared.

In closing, Dr. Bashir reiterated his prayers for the Gazan people, affirming their place in history as heroes fighting for their future. He called upon Allah to provide them with relief and victory over their oppressors, emphasizing that their struggle is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. “Peace be upon every honorable free person who supports the people of Gaza with even the smallest word,” he concluded, reminding the world that the cause of Al-Aqsa remains a vital and unyielding symbol in the hearts of the Muslim Ummah.

Dr. Isam Bashir's poignant remarks serve as a reminder of the profound significance of solidarity, resistance, and the enduring quest for justice in the face of overwhelming adversity. (ILKHA)
