Mardawi: Resistance will not disarm until Palestinian national goals are achieved

Mardawi said Israel’s accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank aligns with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s openly stated vision of creating a so-called “Greater Israel.” He described this strategy as a radical and dangerous policy aimed at annexing Palestinian and Arab lands.

He urged the Arab League to take clear and decisive action to counter these settlement and annexation plans, calling on Arab states to sever ties with the occupation and to empower Arab and Muslim peoples to express their support for the Palestinian cause.

Mardawi stressed that Gaza will not surrender and that the resistance remains steadfast in its positions. “We will not retreat, and we will not give up our weapons until our national aspirations are fulfilled,” he said.

Meanwhile, Zionist regime's occupation forces, backed by the US, continue their genocide in Gaza through mass killings, starvation, large-scale destruction, and forced displacement, defying rulings from the International Court of Justice and repeated United Nations calls to end the war.

According to Palestinian health authorities, the genocide has martyred or wounded more than 215,000 people, most of them women and children, with over 9,000 still missing and hundreds of thousands displaced.
