Khaled Meshaal was the supreme leader of Hamas from 1996 to 2017. In 1997, Israel tried to kill him by using poison, but he survived. Meshaal is still influential in the group, having played a key role in the leadership of Hamas for nearly three decades. He is currently seen as the diplomatic spokesman for Hamas. He gave an interview to Reuters news agency on the anniversary of the Gaza war on Monday.
Khaled Meshaal, Hamas will rise from the rubble like a phoenix after suffering heavy losses in a year-long war with Israel. Still, the Palestinian Liberation Organization continues to recruit fighters and produce weapons.
The former head of Hamas said that Palestinian history consists of several cycles. We go through a phase where we lose martyrs and lose some of the military capability. But by God's grace, the Palestinian spirit rekindled like a phoenix. Phoenix is a mythical bird. After living for many years, the bird died in a fire and was reborn from its ashes. The phoenix bird has been used as a symbol of rebirth for ages.
He also said that Hamas fighters are still capable of carrying out secret attacks against Israeli soldiers. Hamas fired four rockets from Gaza towards Israel on Monday morning. However, Israel prevented all of them.
He said, we have lost a part of our ammunition and weapons. But Hamas still recruits young people and continues to manufacture a significant portion of ammunition and weapons.
