“We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all countries; leaders, heads of governments and parliaments, ministers, ambassadors, personalities, scholars, leaders of Palestinian factions, and political, factional, religious, and popular delegations, who offered condolences and congratulations on the martyrdom of the movement’s leader, the martyr leader Ismail Haniyeh, whether by personal attendance at the condolence council in Doha, through official statements and messages, by phone call, or by interacting on various social media.

“We express our thanks and appreciation to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its supreme leader, president, government, and people, for the measures taken to organize a massive official and popular funeral for the martyr leader Abu al-Abd [Ismail Haniyeh]. May Allah have mercy on him.

“We express our appreciation for the position of the brotherly State of Qatar, represented by its Emir and Father Emir, its government, and its noble people, in receiving the body of our late martyr, the martyr of Palestine and the Ummah [Islamic world], and burying him in the soil of this blessed country, to embrace a great stature and a great symbol of Palestine, Jerusalem, and the blessed Al-Aqsa.

“Thanks to Türkiye, its president, government, parliament, and people, whose president and officials took the initiative to call to offer condolences from the first moments and participated with the largest official, parliamentary, and popular delegation in the funeral ceremonies of the martyr leader and his bodyguard.”“Thanks for condolences on the martyrdom of leader Ismail Abdel Salam Haniyeh and his bodyguard,” Hamas - Online English Telegram Channel, August 5, 2024.

“We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), commend the exceptional military operation carried out by the Yemeni armed forces and the brothers Ansar Allah [movement], which targeted the heart of Tel Aviv, the center of the Zionist entity using the combat drone (Yafa). This heroic operation marks the beginning of a phase in targeting the depth of the fascist Zionist entity and its internal front in response to the ongoing brutal aggression on our defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of the Palestinian resistance.

“While we hail the positions of the brothers in Ansar Allah in Yemen, Hezbollah, the Jamaa Islamiya in Lebanon, and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, we call upon all the forces and elements of our Ummah [Islamic nation] to unite and join the battle of honor and dignity, and strike the fascist occupying regime in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza, and in defense of the holy sites desecrated by the fascist settlers, most notably the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”“Press Statement,” Hamas - Online English Telegram Channel, July 19, 2024.

“Iran hasn’t even gotten revenge for Soleimani. Their retaliation against Al Asad airbase was theatre just like their recent attack against Israel. How much longer will Iran hold back? I only say this because I want Israel to be punished for its crimes against all of us.”“Lucas Gage,” Twitter post, May 20, 2024, 11:12 a.m., https://x.com/Lucas_Gage_/status/1792574080048116058.

Following a direct Iranian attack on Israel in which Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles toward Israel:

“We consider this response to be the natural reaction to the existence of the occupying entity, and it becomes increasingly necessary in light of the crimes, violations, and assassinations that the entity continues to commit in flagrant violation of all humanitarian and legal values and standards. We also condemn all the denying voices that have emerged in defense of the occupying entity, especially the countries that have made themselves a firewall to defend the entity, and portray it as the victim, in a blatant distortion of all facts and realities.” “Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad hail Iran’s retaliatory strikes on occupied territories,” Press TV, April 14, 2024, https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/04/14/723687/Lebanese-resistance-movement-Hezbollah-brave-decision-Iran-retaliatory-strikes-Israel.

Statement following the onset of the Hamas-Israel war in the Gaza strip:

 “[T]he current victories achieved in Palestine have been unable to be achieved by all the Arab armies…all the Arab leaders abandoned the Palestinian cause, and only the Islamic Revolution [referring to Iran] and the resistance factions remain with it…if America intervenes in Palestine, we will be forced to intervene and will not hesitate to target [US personnel].”Joe Truzman, “Other Iraqi groups, figures join the fray warning the United States against support for Israel,” Long War Journal, October 11, 2023, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2023/10/other-iraqi-groups-figures-join-the-fray-warning-the-united-states-against-support-for-israel.php.

“The Israeli enemy, in the face of the escalation of resistance in the West Bank, fled to accuse Iran and to pretend that what is happening there is an Iranian plan and that the Palestinians there are tools, and this is foolishness. The battle in the West Bank is with the Palestinian people. Yes, the Islamic Republic supports the oppressed Palestinian people, but the resistance project is a Palestinian project.”Tzvi Joffre, “Nasrallah warns Israel against targeting Hamas leaders in Lebanon,” Jerusalem Post, August 29, 2023, https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-756625.
