Tunisian Islamist party Ennahda invited Houda Naà¯m, a Hamas member of the Palestinian Legislative Council based in Gaza, to speak at a rally in Sousse, a coastal Tunisian city, this past Sunday. The event marked the first time in known memory a member of Hamas has addressed the Tunisian public.
Naà¯m praised the victory of the Tunisian people in establishing democracy, and stated her hope that the liberation of Tunisia would lead to the liberation of Palestine.
The event also saw a speech from Ennahda's general secretary Hammadi Jebali, recently proposed by the party to be the new Prime Minister of Tunisia.
Jebali declared that the occasion was a divine moment in a new state, and in, hopefully, a 6th caliphate, referring to the historical system of Islamic monarchies.
The tone of this last comment is in sharp contrast to many of the party's public statements, where it has denied any intention of instituting Sharia or Islamic law in the nascent democracy.
The general secretary also echoed Naà¯m's words, stating, The liberation of Tunisia will, God willing, bring about the liberation of Jerusalem.
