Islamic Jihad leader Hader Habib described Hamas’s assertion of building and developing strong relations with Syria as “a step in the right direction and it will strengthen the axis of resistance against Israel.” .”

He emphasized that “the boycott serves neither Hamas nor Syria, nor even the Palestinian cause”, noting that “Syria is an important figure and an important factor in the conflict with the Zionist enemy, and its positions are principled and firm, and we, as the Palestinian people, such a position serves our cause, our people and the Arab nation in the face of Arab normalization.

Habib pointed to the importance of delimiting relationships with all components of the axis of resistance, whether in Lebanon, Syria or Iraq, noting that “the more coherence and harmony the axis of resistance, the more negatively it affects the Israeli occupation and its presence.” Earlier today, Hamas announced its intention to build and develop a strong relationship with Syria as part of its decision to renew relations with it.
