In response to the rise of secular and Takfiri movements, extensive foreign interventions, the Zionist regime’s actions, and global indifference toward Palestinian rights, the resistance discourse has emerged as a powerful justice-seeking and anti-hegemonic force on both regional and global levels. Operation Al-Aqsa Storm (Al-Aqsa Storm), conducted by Hamas in October 2023, underscored the failure of compromise-based approaches in Palestinian negotiations with the Zionist regime. This operation reflected the strengthening of the resistance discourse, directly challenging the Zionist regime’s expansionist aims and disrupting dominant hegemonic structures in the region (Problem).

This study aims to analyze the discourse of the Resistance Front and elucidate its role in shaping regional and global transformations, with a specific focus on Operation Al-Aqsa Storm (Al-Aqsa Storm) as a pivotal geopolitical event (Objectives).

The research addresses the central question: What are the foundational principles underpinning the resistance discourse, and how has this discourse successfully undermined dominant global orders while asserting its influence on the international stage? (Research Question). Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis, this study examines the core signifiers and articulations embedded within the resistance discourse (Method).
Findings reveal that the resistance discourse, by emphasizing the revitalization of the Palestinian cause, confronting compromise-oriented strategies, advocating for justice, and exposing colonial regimes, has effectively challenged the hegemony of dominant narratives, establishing itself as a significant force in the region (Findings).
