Video entitled “Questions and Answers Regarding Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”:

“Center your focus these days on the Jews and the Americans everywhere. Sink their vessels, down their planes, raid their barracks, and eliminate every one of their soldiers. Do not spare any barracks or any event without attacking them. This is your duty. Strike them in their own backyard and everywhere. The world today is an arena for Muslims’ operations against Jews, the Americans, British, and French citizens, and all who stood with the Jews and the Crusaders against the Islamic ummah.”“Al-Qaeda In The Arabian Peninsula Leader Batarfi Approves Of ‘inspiring’ Hamas Attack, Encourages Killing Of ‘Jews, Americans, And British’ Citizens, Claims 9/11 Attacks Are The ‘Best Example’ To Deter U.S.,” Middle East Media Research Institute, October 30, 2023, https://www.memri.org/jttm/al-qaeda-arabian-peninsula-leader-batarfi-approves-inspiring-hamas-attack-encourages-killing.

“If you want to take action, here’s the opportunity. Turkey should not enter Gaza as a peacekeeping force but as an attacking force against the occupier, ‘Israel’… Gaza is waiting for you.”“Caliphate advocate Hizb ut-Tahrir escalates anti-Israel protests, calls for armed intervention in Gaza,” Nordic Monitor, November 8, 2023, https://nordicmonitor.com/2023/11/caliphate-seeking-hizb-ut-tahrir-escalates-anti-israel-protests-calls-for-armed-intervention-in-gaza/.

Speaking to New Yorker magazine about Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel:

“This is the first time that the Palestinians are crossing the borders and fighting in their historic land. Israel used to wage war against us outside its borders, to kill us and imprison us. Now it’s the opposite. Now the future Israeli generations will know they can’t continue to occupy the Palestinians—they can’t continue their wars forever. This is the biggest achievement.”Adam Rasgon and David D. Kirkpatrick, “What Was Hamas Thinking?,” New Yorker, October 13, 2023, https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/what-was-hamas-thinking.

Speaking to New Yorker magazine about Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel:

“They were trained and prepared to do all of this. This wasn’t a spontaneous thing.”Adam Rasgon and David D. Kirkpatrick, “What Was Hamas Thinking?,” New Yorker, October 13, 2023, https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/what-was-hamas-thinking.

Speaking to New Yorker magazine about Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel:

“The soldiers are the ones who plan, execute, and so on, but they abide by the general policies put forth by our political bureau. We were surprised by the date but not by the actions.”Adam Rasgon and David D. Kirkpatrick, “What Was Hamas Thinking?,” New Yorker, October 13, 2023, https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/what-was-hamas-thinking.

Asked in an Al Arabiya interview if he will apologize for what was done to Israeli civilians during Hamas’s October 7 attack:

“With all due respect, your question, forgive me for saying this, apologies should be demanded from Israel. You asked me a question and I am answering you clearly. Hamas does not intentionally kill civilians. It focuses on soldiers. Period.”“Exclusive: ‘Israel will kill us, whether we resist or not,’ says former Hamas chief,” Al Arabiya, last updated October 21, 2023, https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/10/19/-Israel-is-killing-us-whether-we-resist-or-not-says-former-Hamas-chief.

Asked in an Al Arabiya interview about Hamas targeting Israeli civilians during its October 7 attack:

“I told you, my dear sister, that Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades and our military focus their resistance on the occupation forces, on the soldiers, but in all wars, there are some civilian victims. We are not responsible for them.”“Exclusive: ‘Israel will kill us, whether we resist or not,’ says former Hamas chief,” Al Arabiya, last updated October 21, 2023, https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/10/19/-Israel-is-killing-us-whether-we-resist-or-not-says-former-Hamas-chief.

Asked in an Al Arabiya interview about comparisons between Hamas and ISIS after Hamas’s October 7 attack:

“This accusation is fabricated by Netanyahu and unfortunately, the West is complicit. Nations, my dear sister, are not easily liberated. The Russians sacrificed 30 million people in World War II, in order to be free of Hitler’s attack. The Vietnamese sacrificed 3.5 million people until they defeated the Americans. Afghanistan sacrificed millions of martyrs to defeat the USSR and then the U.S. The Algerian people sacrificed six million martyrs over 130 years. The Palestinian people are just like any other nation. No nation is liberated without sacrifices.”“Exclusive: ‘Israel will kill us, whether we resist or not,’ says former Hamas chief,” Al Arabiya, last updated October 21, 2023, https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/10/19/-Israel-is-killing-us-whether-we-resist-or-not-says-former-Hamas-chief.

In an Al Arabiya interview:

“That ingenious moment when the Al-Qassam Brigades managed to surprise the enemy and all the intelligence agencies in the world had to be kept a secret. We did not embark on a new type of resistance. It is all part of the atmosphere of resistance. When a certain measure is taken, it is in the context of the legitimate that our people have agreed on.”“Exclusive: ‘Israel will kill us, whether we resist or not,’ says former Hamas chief,” Al Arabiya, last updated October 21, 2023, https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/10/19/-Israel-is-killing-us-whether-we-resist-or-not-says-former-Hamas-chief.
