Gaza Political Activist Jamil Abdul-Nabi: October 7 Was A Miscalculated Step That Destroyed Our People; Hamas Is A Complete Failure, It Must Disband And Disappear From The Palestinian Scene
Gaza political activist and former Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) official Jamil Abdul-Nabi said in an August 9, 2025 interview with Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that resistance should not be driven by emotions or by impulses of vengeance. He said that in Gaza today, Hamas's support has dropped to less than 1 in 100 or even 1 in 1,000, and that anti-Hamas sentiment is growing. Referring to October 7 as a "miscalculated step" that led to "the destruction of our people," Abdul-Nabi said that an apology is not enough and that Hamas must "pay for its sins" by disappearing from the Palestinian scene. He said Hamas must declare that it is disbanding, because it has failed in resistance, in governance, and in war. He also criticized Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, whom Abdul-Nabi knew from prison, where they shared a cell for a year, for saying "Even if they kill 10,000, 20,000, or 100,000 of us..." in a cavalier tone, as if speaking about a handful of dollars. Interviewer: "Was October 7 a sin committed by Hamas?" Jamil Abdul-Nabi: "Absolutely. Resistance should not be driven by emotions. It should not be impulsive or vengeful. Resistance that is not driven by clear political goals is futile and might become nihilistic. [...] "Reckless resistance can lead us to disaster, and this is what happened on October 7. Resistance must consider the outcome, the consequences. [...] "I'm not exaggerating when I say that throughout the Gaza Strip, not even one of every 100 – or even 1000 – people I come across are supporting Hamas now. Today, the position of people in the Gaza Strip is much more anti-Hamas than what Hamas believes, because they are the ones who have paid the real price, and they are familiar with the real outcome of this war. "Hamas's rhetoric, my dear brother... Every statement by Hamas leaders turns into joke material among the Gazans here. [...] "What happened happened. We cannot go back in time. [Hamas] took this miscalculated step, which led to the destruction of our people, so at the very least, you should make us feel that it has some regrets. [...] "Apology is not enough. Hamas needs to bear the responsibility and pay for its sin. For me personally, the price cannot be anything less than the disappearance of Hamas from the Palestinian scene. Enough. Hamas needs to be gone. Hamas needs to declare that it is disbanding, because it has failed. Hamas failed in resistance, failed in governance, failed in war, and failed in everything. [...] "Hamas's insistence to double down on its rhetoric makes us feel that our tears mean nothing to this movement. We are zero to them. [...] "When [Ghazi] Hamad says: 'Even if they kill 10,000, 20,000, or 100,000 or us...' What is this? What is he talking about? How can he be so cavalier when talking about people's lives? What does Ghazi Hamad think of the Palestinian people? Is he talking about a handful of dollars? [...] "Should Hamas be held accountable? Yes, it should. The Palestinians, like any nation, have the right to hold their leaders accountable when they expose them to danger of such scope. It is inconceivable that a tragedy like this will pass, and we will not have the right to call to account the people who brought this tragedy upon us. Inconceivable. Future will tell whether we can hold Hamas accountable or not. "It could be that we will not be able to do this, but when I say that Hammas must leave – that's the minimal [requirement]. At the very least, Hamas should leave us, because it has failed in leading the Palestinian cause, failed in leading the resistance, failed in governing [Gaza], failed in everything. People who fail need to step down."

Syria-Based Jihadi Cleric Urges Hamas To Raise 'White Flag' Of 'Holy Jihad' Against The Infidels As Taliban Did
The following report is now a complimentary offering from MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM). For JTTM subscription information, click here. On July 22, 2025, Egyptian-born, Syria-based jihadi cleric Yahya Al-Farghali aka Abu Al-Fath published an essay titled "To Hamas: Raise the White Flag out of Mercy for the People."[1] In his essay Al-Farghali calls on Hamas to shake off "idolatrous" concepts and Western creations such as nationalism, democracy and human rights, and urges it to follow in the footsteps of the Taliban and raise a pure "white flag" of "holy jihad" for the application of Islamic shari'a law and in opposition to the infidels. Al-Farghali opens his essay by stating that at first, he was among the enthusiastic supporters of Al-Aqsa Flood, the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas, and noted its many advantages, first and foremost the fact that it broke "the slide toward normalization" that he claims those who betrayed Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque were slipping toward. However, he adds that from the first day he believed that the major flaw in the plan for that campaign was Hamas's misjudgment regarding the Islamic regimes and the extent of "their self-humiliation and collaboration" (with the enemy). Al-Farghali explains that for all of Islamic history, to the days of the Rashidun Caliphate[2] "the mujahideen who walked the straight path" would examine their sins and the transgressions they committed when the victory on the battlefield tarried. He wrote that the Quran teaches that a Muslim army is not defeated by the strength of its enemies but due to its own failures, as it is written: "Why is it when you suffered casualties [at Uḥud]—although you had made your enemy suffer twice as much [at Badr]—you protested, 'How could this be?'? Say, [O Prophet,] 'It is because of your disobedience'…" (Quran 3:165). In this context, Al-Farghali accuses Hamas of trying to adopt "international concepts, such as democracy and human rights" which, he claims, do not correspond to the Islamic religion and sometimes even contradict it, using the argument that they are compelled to do so due to the exigencies of circumstances. He contends that such behavior is forbidden to those who lead the Islamic nation because it misleads those who follow it. Moreover, he asserts that even the West and the international community sanctify such "idols" only as long as they don't harm their own economic interests or those of their "nurturer [Israel]," and when they do hurt those interests, then they (the West) "devour their idols, without any sorrow or need to justify this." He asks Hamas: "Has the time not come for you to raise the pure white flag, that bears only the Shahadah (the Islamic profession of faith),"[3] as the Taliban did in Afghanistan and then Allah granted it victory? He clarifies that he is not referring to a flag in the sense of a piece of cloth, but as the goal described in the hadith attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, which reads: "he who fights under a banner of ignorance showing anger in support of party spirit, or summoning people to party spirit, or helping party spirit, and then is killed will be killed like those of pre-Islamic times." Al-Farghali calls on Hamas to raise only one flag which is the flag "of the holy jihad" for the sake of applying shari'a law and "ousting the unbelief," because it is the infidel and not because it is imperialism or colonialism which negates the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people, or any other national or pan-Arab slogan. He urges it to take action "before it's too late," and stresses that if it really does so, then Allah will grant it victory and save it and its people. He also stresses that his words do not constitute a denial of the Muslim obligation to urgently come to the aid of their brothers in Gaza, to the best of their ability. It is notable that when Hamas perpetrated its attack against Israel, Al-Farghali called for suicide attacks against Israelis all over the world, and declared that the "quickest deterrence of the massacres committed against Gaza" would be a large-scale campaign of unrestrained martyrdom-seeking – i.e. suicide – operations so that the situation "gets out of control."[4]

Editor Of Saudi Government Daily: Hizbullah Must Be Disarmed, Willingly Or By Force
In a recent article, Khalid Bin Hamad Al-Malik, editor of the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah, harshly criticizes the Hizbullah and Amal organizations for opposing Lebanon's decision to disarm Hizbullah, and argues that if this organization refuses to surrender its weapons willingly, it must be divested of them by force. Hizbullah, he says, has caused the death and wounding of thousands of Lebanese, as well as extensive destruction in the country, and has committed terror against civilians. Moreover, it serves a foreign (i.e., Iranian) agenda, and torpedoes every reform aimed at rebuilding Lebanon, wanting to keep it backward, unstable and under its control. Therefore, Al-Malik argues, allowing Hizbullah to continue its policies and retain its weapons, which are directed mainly against rivals at home, is "an unforgivable crime." Khaled Bin Hamad Al-Malik (Image: The following are translated excerpts from his article:[1] "Hizbullah Secretary-General Na'im Qassem admits that 5,000 Lebanese have been killed and 13,000 have been wounded, although he neglected to mention the considerable damage to property, the loss of [Hizbullah's former] leader and much of its weapons, the destruction throughout Lebanon, and Israel's occupation of five areas in the south. And the losses may be greater than Na'im Qassem announced. The Lebanese state was supposed to openly declare the actual scope of the losses, and Hizbullah was supposed to comply with the Lebanese consensus and surrender its arms to the military, thus ending [the situation] whereby it possesses weapons to intimidate the Lebanese and threaten their lives. "But Hizbullah refuses to disarm or to set out a timetable for disarmament. It continues to insist that the army is incapable of defending Lebanon against Israel's attacks, yet it retains its weapons without using them against Israel. [Instead], it tolerates the strikes of the Israeli army against its people and strongholds, and does not retaliate. "The Hizbullah and Amal representatives walked out of the cabinet meeting two days ago, headed by Lebanese President [Joseph] Aoun, when [they realized that] the intension was to set out a timetable requiring Hizbullah to surrender its arms by the end of the year. This proves that the [Shi'ite] Hizbullah–Amal axis has no intention of [complying with the demand] to confine the weapons to the state and disarm all the [Lebanese] organizations. [This axis means to] leave Lebanon occupied and at Israel's mercy, without security or stability. "Ahead of the cabinet meeting Hizbullah's secretary-general stressed that the weapons would not be handed over, and threatened that the war between Lebanon and Israel would turn into a war among Lebanese, i.e., between Hizbullah and the Lebanese. This means that he wants Lebanon to remain a backward state, with Israel, Hizbullah and Amal controlling of all its resources. More than that: one day before the cabinet meeting, Hizbullah organized protests against its disarmament, and threatened to organize another protest after the meeting, which forced the army and security forces to deploy in order to prevent clashes between citizens… "I ask: What did Hizbullah wish [to accomplish] by plotting against Lebanon's unity and dragging it into wars that destroyed it, ruined its economy and growth and left it without income from tourism?... [Another] question: Do the organization's leaders not know that, by plotting against Lebanon, they obstruct its recovery, deprive it of Gulf and international aid, and provide Israel with an excuse to continue attacking it and occupying territory in the south?... "I have [yet another] question: Who is responsible for the death of 5,000 Lebanese and the wounding of 13,000 others, if not Hizbullah? Who is responsible for terror against civilians, if not this organization? Who has thwarted Lebanon's development and spread anarchy within it? Is there anyone to blame, except for Hizbullah, which implements a foreign [i.e., Iranian] agenda and conspires against the state on foreign orders? "Finally, I ask: When will Hizbullah realize, after decades of foiling every attempt at reform… that its policy and its weapons, which are directed against the Lebanese, are an unforgivable crime, and that its [tendency to] embroil Lebanon in wars with Israel is the reason [this country] is weak, wretched and succumbs to Hizbullah's decisions to destroy it? "[I address] Na'im Qassem and his helpers in Hizbullah, as well as Nabih Berri and his helpers in the Amal movement – the two Shi'ite [forces] that destroyed and are still destroying Lebanon, toyed with the interests of the state and thwarted the repair of what they have ruined in the country. Remember that things have changed in Lebanon. The situation is not as it was in the past, and if you do not hand over your weapons willingly, you will be divested of them by force and coercion."
