"Operation Aqsa Flood", which started on October 7, 2023, continues at full speed. The Islamic Jihad Movement constitutes one of the components of the struggle against the occupying Israeli regime. Ihsan Ataya, one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad Movement, who fought shoulder to shoulder with HAMAS against Israel, emphasized in his statements to the Milli Gazete that the end of Israel is near and that the Palestinian resistance is very close to final victory.
“ISRAEL HAD GREAT LOSSES”
Ihsan Ataya, one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad movement, said in his statements to our newspaper that the biggest supporters of the genocide committed by Israel are the USA and England.
Ataya noted that the Palestinian resistance responded to Israel's attacks despite all the difficulties and that the Zionist special units suffered great losses.
"The resistance responds to Israel's attacks with patience and fortitude, and even harms Israel's special forces. Israel suffered many casualties," Ataya said.
“ISRAEL COULD NOT ACHIEVE ANY OF ITS GOALS”
Ataya stated that since the first day of the war, conscientious people around the world have organized some events in solidarity with Gaza and that the people have stood firm even though their rulers cooperated with Israel.
Stating that Israel suffered a great defeat, Ataya said, "It should not be forgotten here that; The support given by the communities supporting the Palestinian resistance was a great support to the people of Gaza. In addition, the support provided by the resistance axis, both military and political, is also very important and effective. As a result, Israel could not achieve any of its goals in this process. Israel suffered a great defeat."
"CEASE-FIRE WILL BE IN FAVOR OF PALESTINE"
Evaluating the ceasefire talks between the Israeli regime and HAMAS, IhsanAtaya noted that the ceasefire would only be accepted if it was in favor of Palestine.
Regarding the issue, Ataya said, "The war will continue as long as the Zionist regime and its supporter, the USA, continue massacres on the ground and do not respect the rights of the Palestinian people. If there is to be a ceasefire, it will be a ceasefire in favor of Palestine."
“PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE FIGHTS FOR THE WHOLE UMMAH”
Ataya, one of the leaders of Islamic Jihad, also emphasized that the attitude of the leaders of Islamic countries during the genocide in Gaza was nothing but disappointment.
Ataya, on the subject, "The primary responsibility of Muslim countries is to stand against Israel. Of course, it is a responsibility for them to do this. I think Islamic countries should thank the Palestinian resistance. Because if Israel can destroy the Palestinian resistance, it will target Islamic countries one by one. That's why the Palestinian resistance is actually fighting for all Islamic countries," he added.
“THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE SHOULD BE THANKED”
Ataya said that the Republic of South Africa's filing of a lawsuit against Israel should embarrass Islamic countries.
"As we just mentioned, Western countries openly and illegally support Israel. Well, shouldn't our Muslim brothers who defend the sacred values of the Ummah in Gaza receive support from the rulers of Islamic countries? We need to thank the mujahideen who were martyred while fighting against Israel in Palestine. The Palestinian people are literally sacrificing in this war. In this sense, we need to thank these people," Ataya said.
“THERE IS A LOT THAT CAN BE DONE TO SUPPORT THE RESISTANCE”
İhsan Ataya also explained what the people who want to support the Palestinian resistance should do.
Stating that the Turkish people and other peoples have a lot to do, Ataya listed them as follows:
"First of all, you have a big job to do in terms of press and information. Apart from this, you should use social media actively and convey the facts to people. At the same time, we need to raise awareness among young people and uninformed citizens in the cultural field. You can support the Palestinian resistance in every field. This way you can contribute to the victory of the Palestinian people. You can also pray and provide moral support to Palestine. We should not forget to boycott. It is also important that you provide financial support to the resistance movements."
“FAITH THE SECRET OF RESISTANCE”
Our newspaper's question "What is the secret of the resistance?" answering the question, Ataya made remarkable remarks.
Ataya, in response to our question, "The secret of the resistance's success is their strong faith. It is very important that they believe in God and protect their land. The people of Gaza do not hesitate to sacrifice and pay the price. At the same time, their resistance despite the genocide in this war is of great importance. However, their consciousness is very strong. They are aware of Israel's purpose. All these factors enable Palestinians to write an epic," he stated.
