(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - On Oct. 24, 2023, senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said: "We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs." Hamad and the Hamas leadership are in no rush to release the hostages or reach a ceasefire agreement with Israel because they would like to see more Palestinians sacrificed as "martyrs. The more bodies pile up, the more they can blame Israel. Hamas leaders seem convinced that the international community is on their side. Hamad and the Hamas leaders sheltering in Qatar and Turkey should be apologizing to the Palestinians of Gaza instead of praising them for their "patience, resolve and steadfastness." In fact, they should be arrested and put on trial for their crimes against both Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas leaders seem determined to turn all the Palestinians in Gaza into a "nation of martyrs" in its jihad (holy war) to destroy Israel. Hamas leaders are selling illusions to their people that they are winning the war and that Israel will soon be defeated. The writer, a veteran Israeli journalist, is a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs.2025-07-29 00:00:00Full Article
