The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, praised Arab, Islamic, and international positions supporting the rights of the Palestinian people, and called for translating these positions into practical political and diplomatic steps to pressure for a halt to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. The movement said in a press statement that it is closely following the ongoing political and diplomatic activity on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. It expressed appreciation for positions that condemn the aggression and ongoing violations against Palestinians in Gaza, and call for stopping them, lifting the siege, ensuring the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid, and holding the occupation accountable. Hamas also praised the Arab, Islamic, and international rejection of forced displacement plans and annexation and settlement projects in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, affirming the Palestinian people's attachment to their land and national rights. The movement called for translating the positions, meetings, and statements issued by Arab and Muslim leaders and ministers into effective political and diplomatic action, exerting real pressure to stop Israeli violations. It stressed that any political plans or initiatives should be based on respect for the will of the Palestinian people and their inalienable national rights, foremost among them the right to self-determination, ending the occupation, and establishing their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
