Haya indicated that Hamas would continue along the previous path and would continue in every area and direction until the suffering and suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza were lifted. In his statement, Haya outlined a number of priorities. He stressed that the first priority was a complete cessation of Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip and called on all parties to take action to end Israeli aggression and killings. He stated that Hamas would continue to act in all areas to defend the interests of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the rights and interests of Palestinian detainees. Haya stated that the restoration of order in the daily lives of the people of Gaza and the full implementation of reconstruction were inherent rights of the people of Gaza and must not be tied to any political exchange.
