Thanks Art. Actually I sent this to the list several days ago. Here is another statement by Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’ political bureau:
We congratulate the great Syrian people on their victory and their attainment of freedom, for which they sacrificed the purest of blood and endured all kinds of suffering on the path to achieving it. They showed patience, perseverance, and commitment to the cause until the command of Allah came to pass. We left Syria 12 years ago, rejecting all the pressures imposed by the regime upon us to support its practices against the great Syrian people. Consequently, we made the decision to leave Damascus. We have meticulously and carefully balanced our relationships with those who supported us in confronting the Zionist occupation, adhering to our golden principle: ‘Those who support us in truth, we do not support them in falsehood.’ Indeed, Allah SWT who granted freedom to His servants in Syria will also bestow relief and decisive victory upon our people in Gaza, god willing. This is our trust in Allah, who does not let the blood of His loyal servants go to waste. https://x.com/xumas_iq/status/1866935501074174197 On Sun, Dec 15, 2024 at 2:17 PM John Edmundson via groups.io <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you, that was it. > > On Sun, 15 Dec 2024, 13:21 Art Young via groups.io, <artyoung100= > [email protected]> wrote: > >> John Edmundson: “I was sure I saw a Hamas statement congratulating the >> Syrian people for overthrowing Assad but now I can't find it.” >> >> >> >> >> >> Hamas statement, in full, issued Dec. 9 -- >> >> In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. >> >> The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, congratulates the brotherly >> Syrian people on their success in achieving their aspirations for freedom >> and justice.
