Abu Hudhayfah Al-Ansari (Arabic: أبو حذيفة الأنصاري)[1][2][3][4][5] is the current spokesman of the Islamic State. He was announced as the spokesman in a speech released by Al-Furqan Foundation media in August 2023.[6][7] He replaced Abu Omar al-Muhajir as the spokesman of the Islamic State, who was arrested by Tahrir al-Sham.[8][9]

History

[edit]

In August 2023 he announced the killing of the fourth Islamic State Caliph, Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi, announcing Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi as his successor,[10] and threatened to increase attacks after US withdrawal.[11] Nothing is known yet about the identity of Abu Hudhayfah. In August 2023, Mina Al-Lami, a Jihadist specialist for BBC Monitoring, speculated on Twitter that Abu Hudhayfah is possibly an Iraqi.[12] In January 2024, Abu Hudayfah released an audio discussing the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[13][14]

Speeches

[edit]
  • “So, Rejoice in the Bargain You have Contracted”; 3 August 2023[15][16][17][18]
  • "And kill them wherever you find them"; 4 January 2024[19][20]
    • “Monotheism is the goal, and jihad is the path…the war with the Jews will not end in a one-state solution or two-state solution, as nationalists believe. It is a religious ideological war that will continue until we kill their antichrist under the banner of the Prophet of Allah… tighten the plans and diversify operations: Blow them up with explosives, burn them with incendiary bombs, shoot them with bullets, slaughter their necks with knives, and run them over with buses.”; 4 January 2024[20]
  • "By Allah, This Religion (Islam) Will Prevail"; 28 March 2024[21]

Today, He inflicts torture upon you from Himself as a just punishment for your war against God's loyal followers. By God, to us it is the best torture since we give glory to Him as the lord of honour. It is most healing to our hearts, and most grievous and severe to you. It started with the coronavirus [Covid-19] plague, and then came its economic consequences and crises for you. It does not end with your immersion in the quagmire of a crusader-crusader war, which exhausted your economy and military materials. Worry, unease, and fear is even apparent in the statements of your military officials due to the near depletion of your military arsenal designated for proxy wars. You are now experiencing your dying days and consecutive misfortunes. Praise and thanks be to God. We lie in wait for you with more, God willing
