38:14Now PlayingAfter over a year of war that left Gaza in ruins, over 40,000 dead, and millions displaced, Hamas declared their ceasefire with Israel a “victory,” sparking widespread outrage. Khalil Al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official, claimed the conflict, which they dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood war,” was a triumph, hailing the October 7 attacks as a “source of pride.” However, many Arab journalists and commentators unleashed scathing critiques, branding Hamas's celebration as delusional and heartless. Saudi media figure Yahya Al-Shabraqi slammed Al-Hayya, asking, "If you see this [spilled] blood and destruction as a 'victory,' I'd like to know how you would describe a defeat!" Others, like Saudi journalist Hussein Al-Waday, argued that Hamas had only achieved a “victory over the Palestinians,” leaving their lives shattered and their cause in tatters. A mocking cartoon depicted Al-Hayya as a snake coiled around Gaza’s ruins, reflecting the betrayal many felt. Critics like Emirati scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla called Hamas’s surrender a final blow to the myth of "resistance," accusing the group of serving Iran’s agenda at the expense of Palestine’s future.
