Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said outside Palestine that Palestinian resistance groups were following in the footsteps of Salahuddin Ayoubi to accelerate the liberation of Palestine, and that the recent battle won by Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades Proves.
According to Anatoly, Meshaal stated in the third session of the Salahuddin Ayoubi Intellectual Assembly in Turkey:
We will return to our original character, learning a lesson is not just about memories, but about jihad and resistance, because these are the true path to liberating and restoring the sanctuaries and lands.
He emphasized:
Jihad and resistance have requirements that include mobilizing power and seizing facilities, especially money, weapons and the unity of the ummah for the great battle.
Mashal continued:
At a critical juncture, Salahuddin Ayoubi understood the concept of political geography with its new meaning, as well as the place of power among the ummah.
He added:
The "leaders of victory", led by Salah al-Din, were able to retake Quds after decades of reviving civilization and cultural and organizational progress.
