Thousands of Jordanians chanted Yahya Sinwar’s name during protests in Amman, saying resistance would continue despite the assassination of the leader of Hamas on Wednesday October 16 by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip and which was announced by Israel on October 17.
These protests, organized in response to the Israeli war on Gaza, saw participants reiterate their support for the Palestinian resistance and express their anger against Israel.
“ The performance of the resistance fighters on the battlefield indicates that this nation has fertile ground and that it breeds leaders. The leadership that dies today will give rise to other leaders », Estimates Ahmed Kamal, one of the participants.
“ It is necessary to open the borders and confront the Zionist enemy »
Among the demonstrators, Said, a man in his forties, called on the Jordanian government to sever all relations with Israel and cancel bilateral agreements. He also called for borders to be opened to allow Jordanians to join the resistance in Gaza.
“ It is necessary to open the borders and confront the Zionist enemy. It is essential to arm and train the Jordanian people, it is the most significant response to the crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinians », Judge Saïd.
The death of Yahya Sinwar caused a wave of sadness and anger in Jordan, where a large part of the population is of Palestinian origin. In addition, the geographic proximity and cultural similarities between these two peoples intensified feelings of solidarity and mourning.
Sinwar killed Zionist soldiers while he was alive. Sinwar killed their hearts, killed their morale, killed the security of the settlers, and it was he who challenged them when he was in prison and also on the battlefield. Sinwar expresses the resilient and sincere Arab and Islamic consciousness. People like Sinwar are the ones we recognize as leaders because they are at the forefront of fighters and do not hide behind treaties and agreements like Wadi Araba, Oslo, Madrid and others. These are those who consider protecting their homeland as one of the first legal duties before prayer, fasting and Hajj, so congratulations to Sinwar and those who do like him.
