GAZA – Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman, Abu Ubaidah, on Tuesday (23/4/2024) called for escalation on all fronts in a televised speech marking 200 days of the Israeli-Palestinian war in the Gaza Strip.

In a video broadcast by Al Jazeera TV, Abu Obaida praised Iran’s attack on Israel on April 13, 2024.

He said, “Direct attacks with drones and explosive missiles set new rules, create important equations and confuse the enemy and the people behind them.”

He also called for increased escalation in the West Bank and Jordan, calling it “one of the most important Arab fronts.”

Jordan, which lies between Iran and Israel, intercepted and shot down dozens of Iranian drones that entered its airspace and headed for Israel, two regional security sources said on April 13.

“We call on the people of Jordan to increase their actions and raise their voices,” Abu Ubaidah stressed.

He said Hamas was sticking to its demands in ongoing ceasefire negotiations that Israel end its military offensive, withdraw troops from Gaza, allow refugees to return to northern Gaza and lift the blockade.

“The Occupation Government is delaying in reaching a hostage exchange agreement and trying to obstruct the mediators’ efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement,” stressed Abu Obaida.

Qatar and Egypt have tried to broker a ceasefire, but a Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday that all interested parties must “show seriousness” for the effort to succeed.
