Khaled Mashal, the former leader and founding member of the terrorist group Hamas, has issued a call for a global Muslim uprising in support of Palestine. In a recent address, Mashal underscored the necessity for Muslims to make sacrifices and engage in Jihad, including a willingness to offer their lives and blood in advancing the Palestinian cause.
Mashal has designated the upcoming Friday as “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood,” urging Muslims worldwide to express their anger not only in Muslim-majority countries but also within communities dispersed across the globe.
The term “Al-Aqsa” refers to “the farthest mosque” or “the farthest sanctuary.” This mosque is situated within the Haram al-Sharif, also recognized as the Temple Mount, in Jerusalem, Israel.
This is an overt call for global unrest. Given the ongoing volatility in Gaza and the broader Middle East, these words should be treated with utmost seriousness.
The most unsettling aspect of Mashal’s speech lies in his direct call for Muslims worldwide to participate in Jihad by sacrificing their lives for the cause. This unambiguous and explicit call for individuals to become martyrs in a holy war against Israel is deeply disturbing, even within the United States as we have no way of knowing how many Muslim extremists have entered our country illegally through Biden’s wide-open Southern border.
What is even more alarming is Mashal’s emphasis on Muslims residing in countries neighboring Israel, such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. He is essentially seeking to mobilize a large, uncontrolled force right at Israel’s doorstep.
Former Muslim turned Christian, Brother Rachid, was the first to report on this alarming threat. He shared his concerns on X (Twitter):
Khalid Mashal the leader and founding member of Hamas gave a speech today asking Muslims all around the world to do the following:
1. To show anger, especially next Friday, in Muslim countries and Also among Muslim diaspora around the world; he called it “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood”, he said this will send a message of rage to Zionists and to America
2. He asked for financial help from all Muslims around the world; to help with their money, he called it “Financial Jihad”. He asked Muslims to give to the fighters of Gaza in order to compensate them for the destruction
3. He asked political pressure, from Muslim leaders and Muslim nations, to stop Israel’s military invasion of Gaza
4. The most important thing: He asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa. He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means. He said: This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory. He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spell their blood on the land of Palestine.
These are his final words:
Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls [to be sacrificed for Palestine]

Watch via The Gateway Pundit on Rumble:
Mashal’s explicit call for global Jihad, financial support, and political pressure creates an alarming threat that goes beyond a leader rallying his immediate followers; it involves an influential figure striving to energize a global religious community into actions that have the potential to lead to violence and geopolitical turmoil on an unprecedented level.
On the very same day, the terrorist organization Hamas issued a statement echoing Mashal’s sentiments. They designated the upcoming Friday, October 13, 2023, as a day for widespread mobilization, calling it the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operations.
The statement encourages Palestinians living in the West Bank and even within the borders of Israel to participate in extensive demonstrations and to confront Israeli military forces at every available opportunity.
“First: We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.
“Second: We call upon our rebellious youth throughout the West Bank, in its cities, villages, and uprising camps, in the streets and neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and at the squares of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to rise up, join massive demonstrations, and shake the ground beneath the feet of the Zionist invaders and their settler gangs. Engage with their soldiers and cowardly army in every place, affirming the unity of destiny and the path towards Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, liberating them from the defilement of the Zionist occupation.
“Third: Our people within the occupied territories of 1948, people of honor and courage, who have borne much to preserve their Palestinian-Arab identity. This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and stand united in guarding the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Preserve it, its Islamic heritage, its divine message, and prevent settler gangs from desecrating it. Thwart the fascist occupation’s plans to divide it, Judaize it, and build their alleged temple. Unite with your people in Gaza and the West Bank.
“Fourth: We call upon the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation and our Palestinian people in all places, including refugee camps and the diaspora, to march towards the borders of our beloved Palestine in massive gatherings. On this day, we declare our solidarity with Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. For those geographically distant, let them gather at the nearest point leading to Jerusalem.
“Fifth: We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.
