Hamas calls on Palestinians in West Bank to stage more protests against Israel land grab policy
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has called on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to continue their protest rallies against Israel and its settlers to foil the regime’s land grab policy and expansionism on the occupied Palestinian territories.
Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanou in a press release on Sunday urged Palestinians in the West Bank to continue their protests against the Zionist enemy and Israeli settlers “at all points of confrontation” in a bid to foil their racist schemes and plans for expansion of illegal settlements, al-Ahd news website reported.
His comments came as Israeli forces on Saturday and Friday wounded more than 410 Palestinians, who had held anti-settlement protests in Beita, Beit Dajan, Kafr Qaddoum, Qasra, Jaba’, Tarqumiya and various villages, towns and cities of the occupied West Bank.
Qanou praised Palestinians’ struggle for their rights during recent protests against the occupying regime and its illegal settlements.
The Hamas official added that “continuing popular demonstrations against settlements and constant clashes with the occupation forces would thwart the regime’s land grab policy”, hailing the “valor of Palestinians and the permanence of their uprising in imposing their will on the Zionist occupier.”
Over the past two months, Beita has seen intensified clashes between the Israeli forces and Palestinians protesting against a settlement outpost that has been recently established on the mountain by settlers under the protection of the Israeli troops.
The protesters urge the international community and human rights organizations to shoulder their responsibility and protect the Palestinians from the persistent Israeli attacks.
More than 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds.
All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law as they are built on occupied land. The United Nations Security Council has condemned Israel’s settlement activities in the occupied territories in several resolutions.
