Spokesperson of Hamas Dr Khaled Qadomi has said that Al-Qassam (Military Wing of Hamas) has 40 thousand soldiers who are ready to respond. They have not used even 1/5th part of their soldiers. About the strikes of 7 Oct, He said that only 2,500 soldiers attacked Israel.
He has asked Arab countries that why you are questioning Egypt only, Qibla e Awwal is only for Palestine? It is not for all Muslim countries? He has appreciated Bolivia a country in the Latin America that broke relations with Israel because Bolivia considers humanly that Israel is cruel state.
He said this in an interview to anchorperson Syed Asim Raza in Islamabad on 20 Dec 2023. Dr Khaled Qadomi is married to a Pakistani lady. He can speak Urdu fluently.
He asked , ” Bolivia is Muslim country? What is the religion of Bolivia? Its economy is strong? Bolivia does not need trade and investments? Bolivia can not be targeted by USA? Bolivia is in the neighborhood of USA. Then why Bolivia condemned Israel? For humanity.”He said that USA is not super power. Afghans defeated USA. Iraqis forced USA to quit from there. USA is out of this region.
He warned the countries in the region that if you do not take a step to stop the genocide of Palestinians, tomorrow it will happen with you as well.
To a question about the role of Muslim countries in addressing the Palestine issue, Dr Qadomi replied that Muslim countries have good economic relations with one another. Like Iran and Turkiye have 21 Billion dollar bilateral trade. Iran and Gulf countries has 11 Billion dollars trade. Economically they are going good but politically the understanding is zero. If these countries have political alliance as well, they can stop the foreign intervention in the region.
Regarding USA administration, He said that what Biden is saying now is totally different than his statements two months ago. Now Biden asks Netanyahu to change the cabinet altogether.
Syed Asim Raza added that Biden has also warned Netanyahu to stop the savage attacks otherwise the world will stand against you. He asked Dr Qadomi that Israel can be pushed back by the public sentiments around the world?
The spokesperson of Hamas said , ” Yes! it is possible. There are 57 Muslim countries. We are more than 2 Billion population of the world. Muslim countries can do this but they need a political decision, a click only for that. The click is determination and faith. American hegemony is finished. American might is finished. We need to gather courage to say No to America.
To a question about the network of tunnels in Gaza , Dr Qadomi said that it is all fabricated story that there are tunnels of Hamas. It is just a propaganda that there are tunnels and Israel has destroyed them only to boost the moral of Israeli military.
Dr Qadomi said , ” Gaza is only 365 square kilo meter strip. There are no mountains or forests. (To construct tunnels). But we can defend Gaza. We have defeated Israel. We have resistance that is a role model for others.”
About the strikes of 7 Oct, He said that only 2,500 soldiers attacked Israel. AlQasam still has 40 thousand soldiers who are ready to respond. They have not used even 1/5th part of their soldiers.
“As long as , the loss of civilian lives is concerned, whenever such a situation erupts , the people have to offer sacrifices, said Dr Qadomi.
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (abbreviated as IQB ) Battalions of martyr Izz ad-Din al-Qassam’ often shortened to Al-Qassam Brigades named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, is the military wing of the Palestinian organization Hamas.Currently led by Mohammed Deif and his deputy, Marwan Issa, IQB is the largest and best-equipped militant group operating within Gaza today
