Khalil al-Hayya, the newly elected chairman of Hamas's political bureau, delivered his first public address Wednesday, urging friendly countries to pressure Israel to implement agreements. He also stated that the organization opposes harming the rights of the Palestinian people and asserted their right to freedom and statehood, according to Ynet.
In his first address since winning the Hamas leadership election, Khalil al-Hayya added a call for international pressure on Israel to implement agreements, according to a Ynet report Wednesday. The Zioneer reported earlier that al-Hayya vowed to continue the path of resistance until the 'liberation of Palestine.' The new speech, delivered shortly after his election was confirmed, also included a statement that Hamas opposes harming the rights of the Palestinian people and asserted their right to freedom and statehood. The speech follows a week of reactions from regional allies—Hezbollah, Iran, and Saudi-backed reports—all welcoming al-Hayya's rise. No further details on which agreements al-Hayya referenced have been reported.
