It added that over two years of war the resistance worked to halt the war and ease the suffering of Palestinians, with the statement asserting that Netanyahu’s cabinet continued the war to achieve the aims of its extremist coalition.

In the same IRNA account, the Al‑Quds Brigades said the resistance of their people, led at the forefront by Al‑Quds Brigades and the Qassam Brigades, will continue as long as occupation exists and that they have prepared themselves for a long, protracted war that will not stop until the occupier is destroyed.

The statement also framed the battle as the longest battle with the enemy since the establishment of its temporary entity, saying that during this period hundreds of fighters and commanders were martyred.

Iran role and ceasefire

Al‑Alam reported that Abu Hamzeh, spokesman for the Jerusalem Brigades (Saraya al‑Quds), said Iran played a prominent role in supporting Saraya al‑Quds in the Battle of the Al‑Aqsa Storm and, alongside other resistance groups in Lebanon and Yemen, supported Palestinian resistance.

In the same report, Abu Hamzeh referred to the martyred commander Mohammad Saeed Izdi (Haj Ramadan) and stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran sacrificed its best scientists and IRGC commanders in the path to the holy Quds.

Al‑Alam also said Abu Hamzeh announced Islamic Jihad's commitment to the ceasefire while adding that they would “certainly closely monitor the enemy's level of commitment to this agreement.”

Separately, ABNA reported that Dr. Ehsan Ataya, Deputy for International Affairs of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, told a webinar that Iran has proven it is able to stand firm against expansionist schemes and continues to support resistance in Palestine with dignity.

ABNA further quoted Ataya describing the Axis of Resistance’s military, political, media, and spiritual support—including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, and Iraqi resistance groups and the Popular Mobilization Forces—as a major factor in the resilience of the resistance in recent months.

Stakes for Gaza and talks

Aster analysis in جريدة القدس described an open-ended conflict between Israel and Iran and said observers link the confrontation to an effort to divert attention from what is happening in the Gaza Strip.

The same analysis said the crossings have seen no real breakthrough and that humanitarian aid has remained trapped by Israeli restrictions, reviving “the specter of famine over the Strip once again.”

It also stated that the region is awaiting the results of anticipated talks in Pakistan, where Vice President J. D. Vance leads a high-level delegation to negotiate with the Iranian side, and noted that the preparations come ahead of the end date of the current ceasefire scheduled for next Wednesday.

PressTV reported that Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani, chief commander of the IRGC Quds Force, said Palestinian resistance will pave the way for the liberation of al-Quds and drew a parallel to victories of resistance movements in Iran and Lebanon.

Qa’ani’s remarks, as carried by PressTV, included the claim that “During that withdrawal, the Israeli army fled while their radios were still on, and all their equipment was left behind in the trenches,” tying the example to the “glorious epic” of May 25, 2000.
