TEHRAN- Mohammad al-Hindi, deputy secretary general of Islamic Jihad Movement has emphasized that new rules have been formed today and Iran’s response is actually a warning to Israel in the region.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen on Tuesday, he said that “Netanyahu wants to drag the region into war, but he talks about a decisive response that does not lead to a regional war. How is that possible? The weight and strategic position of Israel at all levels have been declining.”

Al-Hindi went on to add that the balance of power in the world is changing, and now America is not in its best position and Israel cannot dominate the region.

The senior official of Islamic Jihad said that Israeli crimes in Gaza and Palestine are carried out under the cover and support of the West, and Westerners are complicit in these crimes, but a new phase is forming that requires a reassessment.

During the interview, he stressed that Gaza is the most painful area for Israel, and its face has been shattered there because the battle in Gaza is facing groups that, despite the siege, produce their own weapons.

Al-Hindi added that America does not want a regional war, especially in the election year.

The official of Islamic Jihad noted that Americans and Israelis want to return the captives with the least cost, but the issue of the captives will be in our hands.

He continued by saying that the proposals presented by mediators are clearly the proposals that Israel has in mind, and some of their terms are deceptive.

The deputy leader of Islamic Jihad in Palestine underscored that Israel’s deterrence against Iran has ended, and the regime has faced a real dilemma while its options are also limited. 

“The face and position of Israel, as well as its strategic weight, have weakened, and many countries will reconsider their calculations regarding this regime after the end of the war,” he asserted. 

Given the resistance’s response to proposed plans, Al-Hindi said that the resistance presented its response, and its position was completely transparent because the resistance considers a withdrawal (from Gaza) necessary, which can gradually be achieved along with a ceasefire.

The official of Islamic Jihad continued that the regime of Israel will have to pay the price of the agreement due to its apparent retreats on the ground.  

“We have more time ahead of us for Israel to realize that it must pay the price for this defeat.”
