In a video speech during the annual conference for the release of the “Eye on Al-Aqsa” report, relayed by international news agencies, Meshaal stated: “Resistance operations in the West Bank are escalating despite difficult conditions… We want to return to (suicide) operations; this situation can only be resolved through open conflict. They are fighting us with open conflict, and we are facing them with open conflict.”

He added: “The enemy has opened the conflict on all fronts, targeting all of us, whether we are fighting or not. The enemy says, ‘I am crazy,’ and it is up to the nation to take its responsibilities.”

Meshaal also criticized American diplomatic efforts to mediate a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, accusing the United States of providing Israel with “weapons of destruction.”

He stated: “America abandoned the July 2nd agreement, then blames Hamas, knowing that the one who sabotaged the agreement is Benjamin Netanyahu with his personal agenda, in addition to the Zionist agenda supported by America and some Western countries, unfortunately.”

This situation has sparked widespread reactions, with activists linking it to recent developments in Hamas leadership and the selection of Yahya Sinwar to succeed Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the movement, who was killed in Tehran, according to CNN.
