Tawfiq Abu Naim, a veteran political and security figure, has now emerged as the leading contender to head Hamas in Gaza, especially after the Israeli Occupation’s assassination campaign between 2023 and 2025, killing many of the group’s most prominent figures.

In an exclusive interview with Al-Estiklal, Nael Barghouti, the longest-serving former Palestinian detainee, criticizes the weak Arab stance on Gaza, praises Palestinian resistance and unity, and calls for steadfast support amid the ongoing Israeli genocide and siege.

In an interview with Al-Estiklal, former UN spokesperson Abdelhamid Siyam described Iran’s nuclear program as a form of resistance and criticized U.S. involvement in the Israeli war as calculated. He especially blamed the ICC for failing to prosecute Israeli war leaders and stop the genocide in Gaza.

In an exclusive interview with Al-Estiklal, Deputy Head of Hamas in the West Bank, Abdul Karim Hanini discussed Gaza's latest developments, Hamas' strategies against Israeli aggression, and the unwavering resilience of Gaza's fighters.

Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas leader, was among the few who had prior knowledge of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, which reshaped the Middle East.
