Palestinian Voices

Red Spark’s Palestinian Voices series shares statements and materials from the various factions of Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation. To counter the distortions and spin promoted by the Australian state – a supporter of Israel – the solidarity movement must understand the reality in Palestine. This means being familiar with the political positions and perspectives of those on the ground.

Hamas statement on recognition of the Palestinian state by Britain, Canada, and Australia

21 September 2025

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Commenting on the recognition of the State of Palestine by Britain, Canada, and Australia, and the announcement by a number of countries of their intention to recognize the Palestinian state, we in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirm the following:

• This recognition is an important step in affirming the right of our Palestinian people to their land and holy sites, and to establish their independent state with Al-Quds as its capital. It is a deserved outcome of our people’s struggle, steadfastness, and sacrifices on the path to liberation and return.
  
  
• This important step must be accompanied by practical measures that lead to an immediate halt to the brutal war of genocide against our Palestinian people in Gaza Strip, and to confront the annexation and Judaization projects in the West Bank and Al-Quds.
  
  
• We call on the international community, the United Nations and its institutions to isolate this rogue entity, stop all forms of cooperation and coordination with it, escalate punitive measures against it, and work to bring its war criminal leaders to international courts and hold them accountable for their crimes against humanity.
  
  
• The fascist occupation government insists on continuing its defiance of international laws, conventions, and humanitarian norms, and commits the most heinous violations against our people according to declared policies of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement, which now requires clear and effective stances to curb it.
  
  
• The resistance and struggle of our Palestinian people against the most heinous occupation known to modern history is a natural right guaranteed by international law. The countries of the world must support our people in confronting this criminal occupation, until they are enabled to exercise their right to self-determination and establish their independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.

Hamas: Urgent Memorandum

14 September 2025

Hamas Sends Urgent Memorandum to Arab and Muslim Foreign Ministers and International Organizations Regarding the Assassination Attempt on Its Negotiating Delegation and the Violation of Qatar’s Sovereignty, Undermining Efforts to Halt the Genocide

The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has addressed an urgent memorandum to the foreign ministers of Arab and Muslim countries, influential states worldwide, as well as to the Secretaries-General of the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the African Union Commission, and the United Nations. The memorandum detailed the treacherous zionist attempt to assassinate the negotiating delegation in the Qatari capital, Doha, holding the occupation government, led by war criminal Netanyahu, fully responsible for this crime and for obstructing efforts to achieve a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

The memorandum, issued by Brother Mujahid Mohammed Darwish, head of the Leadership Council, revealed that the assassination attempt came just one day after a leadership delegation from the movement, including members of the negotiating team, met with the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, during which the delegation received a new proposal for a ceasefire. The negotiating delegation was convened to discuss and respond to this proposal when it came under attack.

It explained that on the evening of 9 September 2025, occupation aircraft targeted the home of the head of the negotiating delegation, Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya, with several missiles, leading to the martyrdom of his son Hammam, his office director Jihad Lubad, and three aides, in addition to a member of the Qatari security detail, while injuring several members of his family. All members of the negotiating delegation survived. The movement considered this treacherous assault a grave violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, the mediator in the negotiations.

The memorandum affirmed that Hamas has shown the utmost flexibility to halt the genocide against our people, yet the occupation government has consistently sabotaged every agreement through assassinations, added conditions, and massacres, using negotiations merely as a cover for more time and more crimes. It recalled that the enemy reneged on the 17 January 2025 agreement, resuming aggression with massacres, displacement, and starvation, despite the movement’s full compliance with its terms.

It also pointed out that Netanyahu’s fascist government is pursuing its project of extermination and displacement of our people from Gaza to the very end, and had previously dared to assassinate the movement’s leader, martyr Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran, even though Hamas had at that time accepted a mediation initiative.

The movement stressed that it is a democratically elected national liberation movement striving to secure the Palestinian people’s rights to freedom and independence, and that its leaders cannot be deemed military targets to justify the occupation’s crimes. It warned that the extremist right-wing “israeli” government, driven by messianic visions, is opening a dangerous door to extremism and terrorism in the region and the world.

At the conclusion of its memorandum, Hamas called on the international community and Arab and Muslim states to:

1. Press to halt the aggression and genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds.
   
   
2. End the “israeli” lawlessness that tramples international law.
   
   
3. Compel the occupation to respect international law and respond to the legitimate rights of our people.
   
   
4. Boycott and politically and economically isolate “israel.”
   
   
5. Prosecute occupation leaders in international courts for genocide and violations of state sovereignty.

The memorandum reaffirmed that the struggle of the Palestinian people and their resistance seeks to liberate the land, establish an independent state with Al-Quds as its capital, and guarantee the right of return for refugees.
