Shehab told Ma’an, “The resistance won on the ground and now we will go onto the political battle.”
He explained that the decision is a natural extension of the role of resistance factions, and sought to establish the rights of Palestinians through the withdrawal of troops and the opening of borders.
When asked what will happen if Israel does not evacuate the Strip by Sunday 25 January, Shehab replied, “Then all options are open and no one would dare talk or hold us accountable because our decision isn’t out of weakness but out of common interest.”
Every time.
Provoke action.
Get their asses whipped.
Claim victory.
