The head of the "Loyalty to the Resistance" bloc, Deputy Mohammad Ra'ad, pointed out that "the involved parties, including Hamas, were close to reaching a formula to end the war, but the enemy’s Prime Minister Netanyahu insisted on invading Rafah and continuing the aggressive war on Gaza." He stated during a ceremonial event held by "Hezbollah" to honor the "Martyr on the Way to Jerusalem," the fighter Hassan Muhammad Ismail in his hometown Kfarfilah: "Even the Americans demonstrated that they were unable to convince Netanyahu to avoid this option, and they rightly discovered the reality of the situation, saying they have stopped sending weapons to the Zionist entity which were used in its aggressive war on Gaza. This is a clear and explicit acknowledgment that all the destruction and weapons used to kill and destroy Gaza originated from the United States."
He added: "When Netanyahu felt that the United States didn't want to support his continued war, he said we will proceed with the war alone. This statement also indicated that the entire war he started seven months ago was not solely his own but was supported by the United States, Britain, Germany, and France, who rallied to serve this entity, while all the honorable resistance fighters from various factions and names were facing them. All the martyrs are heroes resisting this arrogant Zionist aggression, which aims not only to crush Gaza but also to crush all the honorable people in our region, including the honorable in Lebanon."
He continued: "I bring good news to you, dear people, that the enemy raised two goals at the beginning of its aggression on Gaza: the first is to liberate what it called the Israeli prisoners at the hands of the resistance, and the second is to crush Hamas and the resistance in Gaza. After eight months, this war will end with the threat to the Zionist prisoners where they are, and perhaps killing them as well, and with Hamas being empowered to be a strong and effective force not only throughout Gaza and Palestine but across the Arab and Islamic world."
He concluded: "Any success that the Israeli enemy claims to have achieved has actually fallen into a pit of failure at the strategic, existential, and fateful levels for this entity, and at that point, we will precisely understand the impact and value of the resistance fighters' struggle and the value of the blood our heroic martyrs shed."
