Hamas urges Muslim nations to reject all Zionist schemes
The movement passed the remarks in a statement on Monday, marking the anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s appointment as God’s last messenger.
According to Hamas, the occasion serves as “a call to reject all Zionist schemes targeting them (the Muslim Nation) and to support the steadfastness” of Palestinians in the holy occupied city of al-Quds — which they seek as the capital of their future state.
The occasion also calls for admiration of “those stationed at al-Aqsa [Mosque] by all means,” the group added, referring to those defying the Israeli regime’s restrictions against Muslim prayers at the mosque, which serves as the third-holiest site among the world’s Muslims.
Hamas also asserted that “the fascist occupation will fail to erase the Arab and Islamic identity of al-Quds and al-Aqsa or to alter historical and factual realities” concerning the dual locations.
Tel Aviv’s doomed efforts at doing so, it noted, featured “schemes of temporal and spatial division, excavations, provocative incursions, and crimes against worshipers and those stationed there, including killing, displacement, detention, and banishment,” the movement reminded, PressTV reported.
Elsewhere in the statement, Hamas hailed the fighters of the movement and its fellow Gaza-based Resistance groups’ Operation al-Aqsa Storm, which was launched on October 7, 2023.
The operation saw the fighters venturing deep into the occupied Palestinian territories, taking the Israeli military by surprise, and ensnaring 240 Zionists.
The regime responded to the operation, which served as an instance of retaliation against Tel Aviv’s decades-long campaign of deadly occupation and aggression against Palestinians, by taking Gaza under a genocidal war.

Dozens of Iranian MPs file complaint against VP Zarif over Davos comments
Seraj stated that Zarif’s participation in the summit was “illegal” and that his comments during the speech and interview with CNN host Fareed Zakaria “insulted the revolution forces.”
The complaint, cites four articles of the Islamic Penal Code and demands swift action.
Zarif suggested in the interview that if principlist politician Saeed Jalili had been elected president instead of Masoud Pezeshkian last July, a major war might have been underway in the region.
According to Seraj, Zarif claimed that if President Pezeshkian had not won the election, he would not be able to walk freely in Tehran today, which Seraj considers an insult to the revolution forces.
He added, “Discussing internal matters abroad and portraying the revolution forces as violent only pleases the enemies.”
The letter accuses Zarif of undermining the position of the Islamic Republic and its revolution forces, and calls for legal action based on the cited articles of the Islamic Penal Code.
The MPs argue that Zarif’s actions have damaged the international reputation of the Islamic Republic and demand a decisive and urgent response.

Officials say over 300k displaced Palestinians return north of Gaza
“Today, more than 300,000 displaced Palestinians from the southern and central governorates returned to the Gaza and northern governorates via al-Rashid and Salah al-Din streets,” the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip said on Monday.
“This comes after 470 days of the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation army,” it reminded, referring to the war that began in October 2023 and claimed the lives of at least 47,000 Palestinians and destroy the biggest part of the Palestinian territory.
The office stressed that the returnees as well as those, who were already in Gaza, “urgently” required 135,000 tents and caravans, “as the destruction inflicted by the Israeli occupation army in these areas has exceeded 90%.”
“We call on the international community, international and United Nations organizations, and Arab states to open the crossings and bring in essential supplies to shelter our dignified Palestinian people,” the body noted.
Despite the massive toll that the brutal Israeli military onslaught has taken on Gazans, the ceasefire agreement has been hailed as a victory by Palestinians and their supporters.
Those in favor of the deal stress that it came by amid the regime’s desperation in the face of interminable and successful anti-Israeli operations by the region’s resistance movements.
They also assert that the agreement was brought about, despite the regime’s falling short of realizing its wartime objectives, including “elimination” of Gaza’s resistance groups, enabling the return of the Zionists, who have been captured by the movements, and prompting forced exodus of Gaza’s entire population to neighboring Egypt.
