Hamas: The Return of Residents to Northern Gaza Heralds the Return of Palestinians to Their Homes Inside Israel
(MEMRI) Hamas has been presenting the ceasefire agreement with Israel as an "immense victory," and regards the war it launched on Oct. 7, 2023, as a "scaled-down model" of the "final" war in which Israel will be eliminated and all the Palestinian refugees and their descendants will return to their original homes within its territory. Hamas officials compare the return of the residents to northern Gaza - which began on Jan. 27 as part of the ceasefire agreement - to the "great return" of the Palestinian refugees and their descendants to their homes inside Israel. They called the return to the north a "historic event" that reflects the ability of the Palestinian people to realize "the dream of the great return."
