"SIDON, [PIC]-- The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has organized a massive rally in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Sunday in condemnation of the unjust economic siege on Gaza Strip, and in solidarity with the besieged Palestinian people there.
Prominent religious and political Palestinian and Lebanese figures attended the rally where Hamas's representative in Lebanon Osama Hamdan called on Arab states to break the Israeli siege instead of "threatening of breaking hands and legs of the Palestinians". Hamdan was apparently alluding to the threats uttered by Egypt's foreign minister Ahmad Abu Al-Ghait against the 1.5 million besieged Palestinians in Gaza.
"The people that create life through their resistance couldn’t, in any way, accept the siege regardless of the party imposing that siege", asserted Hamdan as he addressed thousands of people gathered in the rally.
"Our struggle against the enemy doesn’t end unless [the Israeli] occupation of Palestine is ended", he underlined, stressing that at the end the blockade would be broken, and Gaza along with the Palestinian people would emerge victorious.
A number of Lebanese figures, including Shiekh Ali Ammar of the influential Jama'a Islamia in Lebanon, Abdul Rahman Al-Bazri, the mayor of Sidon, and Hasssan Hudraj of the Lebanese Hizbullah Party, among other speakers in the rally slammed the USA for concocting the siege with the Israeli occupation government, and for justifying Israel's daily crimes against the Palestinians.
On Saturday, the Movement held a similar rally where Hamas's spokesperson in Gaza Dr. Ismael Redwan underlined that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian people would let the economic embargo continue, urging all concerned parties to "rethink" their stands before the imminent popular explosion against the siege takes place.
Another Hamas's prominent political figure MP Fathi Hammad unequivocally underscored that Israeli threats of targeting Hamas's political leaders hadn't frightened them.
Both Redwan and Hammad called on the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas Movement, and the rest of the Palestinian resistance factions to capture more Israeli soldiers in order to swap them with innocent Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, a number of them had been in prison for more than two decades now.
Indirect negotiations, mainly through Egypt, had taken place between Hamas and the Israeli occupation government with the aim to swap prisoners; but Israel's stubbornness, according to the Egyptian mediators, was a big hindrance in reaching such a deal."
