In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

The holy Aqsa’s Intifadha - Communiqué No. (6)
“Here is a message to Mankind”
The seventh day of the Aqsa’s Intifadha
Meeting criminal Barak is a stab to our people, Al-Quds, Aqsa and martyrs
Our people will continue their Intifadha and heroic resistance to defeat the occupiers
Our proud Palestinian people: Our Arab and Islamic Nation:

Another day passes and our Mujahid people continue their holy Aqsa’s Intifadha and a new group of martyrs join their brothers who won the honor of martyrdom for the sake of Allah and for the sake of the Aqsa. Our people has offered more than 60 martyrs and 2,000 wounded so far for the sake of protecting Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the Aqsa. Our glorified Arab and Islamic masses continue their solidarity campaigns with our people. Our Nation is reflecting its unity as a one Nation and one body, which if one of its organs felt pain the other organs felt with it.

As martyrs fall and the Arab and Islamic cohesion with our people escalates, Clinton seeks to save the criminal Barak and the image of the Zionist entity, which the whole world had witnessed its savagery and terrorism. He arranged a meeting between criminal Barak and chairman of the Palestinian Authority with the aim of aborting the holy Aqsa’s Intifadha and paves the way for resuming the humiliating negotiations with the criminal enemy! Any such meetings would mean a flagrant heedlessness of the blood of the martyrs and the wounded and would be met with great anger on the part of our people and enemy.

Our Palestinian people … our Arab and Islamic Nation:

On the seventh day of the holy Aqsa’s Intifadha, we in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, affirm the following:

1- We affirm, along with our people, our rejection of any meeting between chairman of the Palestinian Authority and the terrorist Barak, whose hands are smeared with blood of our unarmed people. We consider such a meeting as a stab in the back of the Aqsa’s Intifadha and to blood of martyrs.

2- We salute with pride our people’s martyrs from the steadfast Palestinian universities especially the National Najah University and the Islamic University in Gaza. We call on students of universities, institutes and schools to escalate confrontations and resistance of the enemy ‘s army and herds of settlers.

3- We greet all Palestinian, Arab and fair-minded world journalists and media men along with all news agencies and space channels for their big role in exposing the occupation’s practices especially through the large-scale coverage of events and giving prominence to Zionist repression and spitefulness against our people and children. We also wish speedy recovery to all wounded journalists and cameramen.

4- We bless the steadfastness of our people in 1948 occupied Palestine and their strong rejection of the Zionist aggression against the Aqsa. We condemn the sinful assassination attempt against Sheikh Ra’ed Salah, head of the Islamic Movement, at the hands of Jewish snipers.

5- We re-affirm the program of activities included in yesterday’s communiqué as follows: today Wednesday and tomorrow Thursday days of escalation and all-out confrontations against enemy soldiers and herds of settlers. Friday should be a day of distinctive confrontations. Let massive demonstrations march from all Palestine mosques in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and areas occupied in 1948.

6- A thousand salutations to our angry Arab peoples in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Oman Sultanate and Sharjah emirate who hit the streets in tumultuous demonstrations in solidarity with our people and in denunciation of the Jews’ massacres. We request more solidarity activities with our people and in support of the Aqsa.

Allahu Akbar and victory to our Mujahid people
