Osama Hamdan: Muhammad Al-Deif still leading resistance operations

In a statement reported by Al-Jazeera, Hamdan reassured that "Brother Abu Khaled (Muhammad Al-Deif) is fine and continues to lead the resistance."

Hamdan emphasized that despite over 330 days of fighting, neither Al-Deif nor his forces have lost their determination. "He is still in his position, exercising his role as the leader of the resistance,” Hamdan stated.

Regarding ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, Hamdan noted that no new initiatives are needed, citing Israel's failure to accept previous proposals. He indicated that surprises in the West Bank would emerge in the coming days, which would not favor Israel.

Hamdan also accused the United States of failing to exert sufficient pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept U.S. proposals for peace. He denied any direct negotiations between Hamas and the U.S., clarifying that all discussions involve Israel. (ILKHA)
