00:00Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon.
00:03Dr. Bassam.
00:04Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon.
00:05He is Anwar.
00:06Shukrubahu sayyakum.
00:07Well, I don't know how to express, but
00:10we happened to be sitting in the cabinet and
00:14the entire cabinet members were shocked
00:16at this madness
00:19of the Israeli Zionist regime
00:22going after people
00:24in their bedrooms and
00:26torturing people and thinking that they can end this
00:30war
00:31and aggression
00:33in this manner.
00:34I understand you and
00:36brothers and Ismail Haniya
00:38is a great Mujahid
00:40and a brother.
00:41Jazakumullahu khairan. Jazakumullahu khairan.
00:44Peaceful.
00:45Jazakumullahu khairan.
00:46Akhi, Dr. Anwar and barakallahu fikum
00:49for this contacting us
00:52and calling us.
00:54Yes, we are still really shocked.
00:56This loss, brother Ismail Haniya, is a very, very big loss.
00:59Not only for the Palestinian people,
01:01but for the whole Ummah and for all free people.
01:04You are talking about, I know him now for decades.
01:08You are talking about a very, very dignified
01:12man who sacrificed his whole life
01:16for the sake of Allah, for the sake of his Ummah.
01:19And I think the most important thing is
01:23to continue on the path of brother Ismail Haniya
01:27until we,
01:29the Palestinian people get and achieve their big national goals
01:32of freedom and dignity and independence
01:35and ending this barbaric behaviours
01:39not only against Palestinians.
01:42Akhi, they have crossed all the lines
01:45in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq,
01:47in Iran, everywhere.
01:49This is a message for all Muslims and for all Arabs
01:53that he is a target if he is standing up
01:57to fight and to struggle for freedom and dignity.
02:00And therefore, we have to be united
02:03on the path, on the way of brother Ismail Haniya
02:06to reach this goal.
02:08Dr. Bassam, please convey to the family,
02:12all the brothers, and please be assured
02:15that we are as strong as ever in our support,
02:18our commitment for an independent Palestine
02:22and we will continue to do our best to
02:25reject this.
02:27I will convey the message for the family and for the movement
02:30and really we are in a strong belief
02:33that our brothers and sisters in Malaysia
02:36and you, your excellency, brother Anwar,
02:40is a strong and committed supporter for our just cause.
02:44Shukran ya Akhi, and I know you are busy right now
02:47but please, I would just need to convey
02:50and not only for my family
02:54but I think all the brothers here are in a state of shock
02:58and really angry that we are not able,
03:03the international community has just failed us
03:06in terms of championing peace and justice
03:09and defending the rights and aspirations.
03:13And if you know, especially he was doing the maximum
03:17to reach an end of this aggression
03:20and to sign a ceasefire
03:24so that we can end this aggression against our people
03:27but every time they have always seeked
03:30new excuses to postpone
03:34or to undermine all these attempts.
03:38Ya, I agree, I agree, because I did speak to him
03:41over the phone and I met him in Doha
03:44and we are in touch with some of our friends
03:47and I've been, just a few days back
03:51the latest information from our brothers in Turkey
03:55and clearly, Brother Marhum Ismail Haniyeh
03:59has been one of the pillars in the struggle
04:02and wanting a peaceful resolution
04:05to defend the rights of the Palestinian people.
04:08But clearly there's a sabotage, they don't want this to succeed.
04:12They don't want the peaceful resolution.
04:15I'm sure this is a big loss, not only for the Palestinians
04:18but for the whole Ummah and for all free and dignified people around the world.
04:23Again, Dr Bassem, to all the family members and colleagues
04:26please stay strong, may Allah
04:29protect us.
04:34Insha'Allah, insha'Allah, jazakoum Allah khair, jazakoum Allah khair
04:37shukran, shukran, jazakoum Allah khair.
