Hamas issued a statement marking the 26th anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the Palestinian uprising that erupted on September 28, 2000, calling on Arab and Muslim countries to increase their support for the Palestinian people.
The Al-Aqsa Intifada began after a visit by Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, triggering years of unrest and violence across the Palestinian territories and Israel.
In its anniversary statement, Hamas framed the events of 2000 as a formative chapter in the broader Palestinian struggle, and urged governments and publics across the Arab and Muslim world to renew their political and material backing for Palestinians amid the current situation in Gaza and the wider region.
The statement did not include additional detail on specific actions or demands beyond the call for solidarity.
