Jamal Al-Huwail, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council from Jenin, said in a March 29, 2022 interview on Al-Mayadeen TV (Lebanon) that Diaa Al-Hamarsheh, the terrorist who carried out the same-day terrorist attack in Bnei Brak that left five Israelis dead, brought light into the hearts of the Palestinians. He said that Al-Hamarsheh and his family restored the glory of Fatah, Hamas, the PFLP, and Islamic Jihad by stating that the "solution to occupation is force." Al-Huwail also said that the "nuclear bomb" facing Israel is the Palestinian people within the borders of the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, he said that Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, whom he called "that dwarf," will fall. Al-Huwail also criticized U.S. President Joe Biden for not having spoken to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas except in May 2021. On March 23, Al-Huwail has also praised an ISIS terrorist who stabbed four Israelis to death in Beer Sheba, Israel. For more information, see MEMRI TV Clip No. 9451.
Jamal Al-Huwail: "First of all, may Allah have mercy on the souls of the heroic martyrs of Ya'bad, who took the banner from the heroic martyr leader 'Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, who was martyred in Ya'bad in 1935. They conveyed a clear message to the criminal Zionist occupation: Jenin will remain mighty.
[...]
"The people in Jenin took to the streets to celebrate what happened in Tel Aviv, Hadera, and Beersheba.
[...]
"Today, Diaa [Al-Hamarsheh, the Bnei Brak attacker] brought light into the hearts of the Palestinians, and the hearts of every free human being who yearns for freedom.
"He made the land of Palestine that was occupied in 1948 dark for the floundering Zionist entity.
"Allah willing, the prime minister, Bennett, the former head of the council of settlers, the leader of the so-called Zionist entity, will fall.
[...]
"Today, Ya'bad rose up - the Ya'bad of Al-Qassam and of the Hamarsheh family, from which this hero set forth - this hero, who soothed the hearts of the believers. This is the natural state of confronting the occupation.
[...]
"That dwarf, Bennett, the Israeli PM, has been saying: 'Who is this Mahmoud Abbas? I do not want to sit down [to negotiate] with Mahmoud Abbas, and I will never discuss politics with him.' Look at U.S. President Biden. To this very day he has not contacted the Palestinian president, except at the time of the Battle of the Sword of Jerusalem [May 2021 military conflict], which terrified the occupation.
"Let me tell you something. I think that Trump was impudent, and wanted to see the Palestinians defeated quickly, but this 'quick defeat' brought about quick reactions against the occupation. But Biden wants to see the Palestinians and the Arab nation defeated at a slow pace.
[...]
"Today, Dia Al-Hamarsheh, the son of Ya'bad, of Al-Qassam's Jenin, has restored the glory of the martyr 'Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam's revolution and the glory of the establishment of Fatah, Hamas, the PFLP, and Islamic Jihad, saying that the solution to the occupation is to use force. Otherwise we will live in humiliation.
[...]
"I see that the Fatah members are happy that the attacker was a Fatah member. Some people try sometimes to slander the Fatah but the Fatah members are always prepared in tough times.
[...]
"Once again the Palestinian people say that the nuclear bomb that is facing Israel is the Palestinian people in this land, from the River to the Sea.
[...]
"A short while ago, the mosques' loudspeakers in Jenin have been loudly blessing - in the name of the national and Islamic forces - the martyrdom of Diaa Al-Hamarsheh, the hero, for carrying out this heroic operation, which soothed the hearts of all the free and honorable people in our homeland, and in our Arab and Islamic world, as well as the hearts of all those who support the right of nations to freedom, independence, and self-determination."
