Resistance speaks: Al-Qassam's sixth exchange challenges Netanyahu & Trump
ALBAWABA - Hamas reaffirmed its firm stance against displacement during the handover of three Israeli captives to the International Committee of the Red Cross. The movement emphasized that the exchange deal is a testament to the unity between the Palestinian people and their resistance.
In an official statement, Hamas asserted, "Our people, our nation, and the world are witnessing the strength demonstrated in this prisoner exchange, which embodies the solidarity of our resistance and our cause."
The movement also addressed recent calls for the forced displacement of Palestinians, particularly in response to proposals put forward by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Hamas strongly rejected such plans, stating, "We tell the world—there is no migration except to Jerusalem. This is our direct response to Trump's displacement agenda and those who support his policies."
The statement, reported by Cairo News, comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding ceasefire agreements and potential prisoner exchanges between Hamas and Israel.
ها قد جاء السبت..
لا جحيم على #غزة قد فُتح..
ولا عنجهية ترامب وانتفاخته وجنونه أثر في رجال الله..
ولا كل الأسرى الصهاينة أصبحوا أحرار..
لا شيء غير هؤلاء الأبطال الذين باعوا الدنيا، واشتروا الحق والكرامة، وقالوا بلسان الحال "لا هجرة إلا للقدس، ولن يحدد اليوم التالي لغزة إلا أهلها… pic.twitter.com/msaAdejvFm — أدهـم ابراهيم أبـو سلميـة (@pal00970) February 15, 2025
In preparation for the sixth round of the prisoner exchange under the first stage of the ceasefire agreement, fighters from the Islamic Jihad Movement's military branch, Al-Qassam Brigades and Al-Quds Brigades, have assembled in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The transfer will be supervised by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
One of the Israeli prisoners, Sagi Dekel Han, will get a gold necklace as a present for his newborn daughter, who was born four months after his abduction, according to a source within Al-Qassam, as reported by Al Jazeera journalist Hani Al-Sha'er. It is anticipated that the released inmates would address the media in Hebrew.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper After Meeting with Al-Sharaa: Trump Wants to Bring Syria into the Abraham Accords - Jordan News
Rabbi Abraham Cooper After Meeting with Al-Sharaa: Trump Wants to Bring Syria into the Abraham Accords Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action at the Simon Wiesenthal Center for International Affairs, visited Damascus in mid-June along with Pastor Johnny Moore. The two met with Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani, following an earlier meeting with Al-Sharaa in New York last April. اضافة اعلان In an extensive interview conducted via Zoom with Al Majalla on June 12, Cooper discussed his visit to Damascus, his role, and his vision for the future of Syria and its relationship with Tel Aviv. The publication of the interview was delayed due to the outbreak of the Israeli-Iranian war, but Cooper later responded in writing to a follow-up question on the matter. Cooper described his two-hour meeting with President Al-Sharaa as the most important part of the visit: 'It's only fair to say that when you sit with someone who publicly identifies as having a clear Islamic background—and yet embraces a vision for Syria that includes all its citizens, and who approaches issues with a strategic and practical mindset aimed at removing Syria from the list of hostile states in a volatile region while sincerely expressing hope for peace—it leaves a lasting impact.' During his meetings with Syrian officials, Cooper proposed two initiatives: A humanitarian DNA project to help tens of thousands of Syrian families determine the fate of their missing loved ones. A proposal for increased cooperation in water and agriculture, fields where Israel holds advanced expertise, especially given the vast barren lands he witnessed on his first trip to Syria. When asked whether Al-Sharaa is seeking a peace deal, Cooper replied: 'I believe he has the tools and skills to make it happen. But peace requires serious effort from both sides. If we have to proceed step by step toward de-escalation, that alone would be a major priority for the Jewish state.' He added: 'The current focus should be on de-escalation… Yes, we aspire for a warm peace, but it doesn't have to follow the Abraham Accords framework.' In response to whether former President Trump could play a decisive role, Cooper stated: 'Simply put: If President Trump invites both leaders—Al-Sharaa and Netanyahu—and embraces them, telling them 'we're fully behind you,' an Abraham Accord could be signed much sooner.' He emphasized that greater involvement from Trump would expedite Syria's inclusion in the Abraham Accords: 'Without him, we'll proceed step by step. But either way, we will continue to play the role of persistent mediators.' Cooper concluded by highlighting Syria's current focus on reaffirming the 1974 Disengagement Agreement—violated by Israel following the collapse of the Assad regime on December 8 of last year.

Top Hamas commander, Oct 7 planner, killed in 'Israeli' operation, says 'Israeli' army
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed on Saturday that a joint operation targeted and killed a senior Hamas military council member in Gaza City on Friday. The strike eliminated Abu Omar Al-Suri, a Syrian national of Palestinian origin who played a significant role in Hamas' military operations and training. Activists close to Hamas announced Abu Omar's death without providing further details. Though not widely known within Gaza, activists said he was killed in an Israeli strike south of the city on Friday evening. Hamas supporters say Abu Omar came from Syria in 2005 to transfer his experience to Gaza's resistance. He contributed extensively across various areas, founding the Qassam Brigades Academy, which has graduated thousands of fighters. Thanks to his expertise, he introduced diverse scientific and technical knowledge across multiple military specializations. Hamas activists noted that Abu Omar was originally from Burqa, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank. He was also one of the key planners of the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Through social media and WhatsApp groups, Hamas supporters emphasized Abu Omar's crucial role in the technical and structural development of the Qassam Brigades, calling him one of the few individuals with a 'real impact' on Gaza's resistance.
