Dr. Issam Khawaja argues that the steadfastness of the Axis of Resistance throughout the war undermines US hegemony in West Asia, and the so-called “New Middle East” project.

Over 850 Palestinians were killed by Israel in Gaza since the US-brokered ceasefire deal came into force in October 2025.

Hamas warned of “grave consequences”, considering the approval of the law which violates basic legal norms a “dangerous escalation”.

Abu Obaida stressed that an attack on Iran equals an attack on the entire Muslim Ummah, and an attempt to punish the Islamic Republic for supporting Palestine.

The second phase includes the disarmament of Hamas and other resistance groups, reconstruction, and the formation of a transitional technocratic Palestinian committee under US supervision.

The movement has appointed a new spokesperson, who has inherited the nom de guerre of the late iconic resistance leader.

For decades, Israel has resorted to targeted assassination as a strategic and tactical method in a bid to undermine the resistance group.

Israel has committed 738 violations during phase one of the ceasefire, which resulted in the killing of over 386 civilians.

The crisis of the trapped combatant constitutes one of 393 Israeli violations of the truce agreement, which came into effect on October 10.

Media reports suggest that Israel may have been motivated by the USD 5 million bounty previously offered by the US government.

Over 300 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the onset of the shaky truce, while the US and regional guarantors remain unmoved.

The proposal, which undermines the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, was already endorsed by Arab and Islamic governments known for their allegiance to the United States, including the Palestinian Authority.
