With pro-Hamas demonstrators pitching tents, threatening Jewish students, and rampaging across U.S. campuses, terrorist groups and rogue regimes in the Muslim and Arab world are rallying in their support.
Hamas, in its official statement, hailed pro-Palestinian students burning U.S. flags and chanting “Death to America” as “the leaders of the future.” The Gaza-based terrorists group, which perpetrated the horrific massacre and mass-rape of Israelis on October 7, decried alleged ‘suppression’ of protests organised by its sympathizers on U.S. college campuses.
ABC News, on Thursday, reported Hamas’s support for the protests:
In the Hamas statement, its spokesperson Izzat Al-Risheq blamed President Joe Biden for “violating the individual rights and the right to expression through arresting university students and faculty members for their rejection of the genocide to which our Palestinian people are being subjected in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the neo-Nazi Zionists.””Today’s students are the leaders of the future, and their suppression today means an expensive electoral bill that the Biden administration will pay sooner or later,” Al-Risheq wrote in the statement.
The Mullah regime, currently busy cracking down on pro-democracy protests in Iran, claimed that it was ‘very concerned’ about the ‘repression’ of pro-Hamas student demonstrations.
Fox News reported the Iranian foreign minister’s statement on Thursday:
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed support for those speaking ill of Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He also said the law enforcement response to the ongoing protests, and subsequent mass arrests, has them “deeply worried and disgusted.””The suppression and harsh treatment of the American police and security forces against professors and students protesting the genocide and war crimes of the Israeli regime in various universities of this country is deeply worried and disgusted by the public opinion of the world,” the foreign minister said on X, according to a translation. “This repression is in line with the continuation of Washington’s full-fledged support for the Israeli regime and clearly shows the dual policy and contradictory behavior of the American government towards freedom of expression.” (…)The Iranian foreign minister applauded the protesters and echoed their request for the Biden administration to cease its support of Israel.”The White House must immediately stop supporting the Israeli regime’s war crimes and be held accountable,” Amir-Abdollahian said.
A Twitter account apparently linked to the Yemen-based Houthi terrorist group also posted a statement supporting the anti-Israel student protests.
The Iran-backed Islamic terror group cheered the “peaceful demonstrators” on U.S. campuses. Pro-Hamas demonstrators faced “unjustified repression” for their “moral stance,” the jihadist outfit complained
Support also came from Iraqi-Shia cleric, Moqtada Sadr, leader of the terrorist Mahdi Army.
The French newspaper Le Monde reported Saturday:
Iraqi religious leader Moqtada Sadr on Saturday, April 27, expressed his support for pro-Palestinian encampments at universities in the United States and called for an end to police action against them.”We call for a halt to the crackdown on voices advocating for peace and freedom,” Sadr said in a statement. “The voice of American universities demanding an end to Zionist terrorism is our voice.”
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted strikes on Hamas terror targets in Gaza, including a rocket launch site.
On Friday, an Israeli “aircraft struck a launch site used throughout the war to fire launches toward the city of Ashdod,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a press release Saturday. “Overnight, IAF aircraft struck a launch site in Khan Yunis used throughout the war to fire launches toward IDF troops and was set up to fire additional launches toward the troops operating in the Gaza Strip.”
“Over the past day, IAF fighter jets and aircraft struck over 25 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including military structures in which armed terrorists were operating, weapons storage facilities, underground infrastructure, as well as additional terror infrastructure,” the Israeli military added.
The statement comes amid reports that the IDF is preparing to storm Gaza’s last terrorist stronghold of Rafah in a bid to eliminate Hamas’s terrorist leadership and free the remaining hostages. “The IDF is preparing for a planned operation in Rafah that includes a comprehensive humanitarian plan, consisting of infrastructure rehabilitation, aid delivery, deployment of field hospitals, and setting up tent cities,” the Jerusalem Post reported Saturday.
After last month’s talks in Moscow, Gaza-based terror group Hamas and Fatah, the P.L.O. faction running the Palestinian Authority, are set to hold ‘unity’ talks in Beijing. The move highlights the deepening strategic alliance between China and its junior partner Russia.
Despite decades of deadly rivalry on the ground, both Palestinian groups are united in their hatred of Israel. In recent years, Hamas has expanded its terrorists operations in the West Bank, right under the nose of the Palestinian Authority.
Besides China and Russia, Iran has been pushing to create a unified axis of Palestinian and other terrorist groups to encircle Israel.
The Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported Saturday:
China will host Palestinian unity talks between the Islamist terrorists of Hamas and their rivals in Fatah, a notable Chinese foray into Palestinian diplomacy amid the war in the Gaza Strip.The two rival Palestinian factions have failed to heal their political disputes since Hamas fighters expelled Fatah from Gaza in a violent coup in 2007. Washington is wary of moves to reconcile the two groups, as it supports the Palestinian Authority and banned Hamas as terrorists.”We support strengthening the authority of the Palestinian National Authority, and support all Palestinian factions in achieving reconciliation and increasing solidarity through dialogue and consultation,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin at a briefing on Friday.The visit will be the first time a Hamas delegation is publicly known to have gone to China since the start of the war in Gaza. A Chinese diplomat, Wang Kejian, met Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar last month, according to the Chinese foreign ministry.
