Hamas' military wing leader Abu Obaida has issued a fervent call for a month of “jihad and victories“ during Ramadan, marking his lengthiest address since the October 7 massacre in Israel. In his speech, Obaida declared Ramadan as a month of obedience, jihad, and triumphs. This proclamation comes amidst escalating tensions, with President Biden acknowledging difficulties in securing a Gaza ceasefire. Obaida's rallying cry urges mobilization towards the Al-Aqsa Mosque, asserting its significance and calling for resistance against Israeli occupation. Meanwhile, Biden's optimism for a pre-Ramadan ceasefire wanes, expressing concern over potential violence in East Jerusalem as the holy month approaches. The Al-Aqsa Mosque dispute intensified following Israeli Minister Ben Gvir's statement, which Hamas swiftly responded to by urging protest marches to the mosque. Although Israel clarified Palestinians' access to Al-Aqsa on March 8, restrictions persist for West Bank Palestinians amid ongoing conflict. Ramadan, slated to commence imminently, underscores the region's fraught dynamics. #israel #gaza #usa #america #britain Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: Instagram: Download the app: Follow the TOI WhatsApp channel: Follow TOI for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: Twitter: Instagram:
