RAMALLAH (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Haroun Nasser Al-Din, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, has confirmed that the Israeli occupation authorities are racing against time to expedite the implementation of the annexation and displacement plan in the West Bank.
In a statement on Thursday, he explained that the establishment of a new settlement outpost in the “Gush Etzion” settlement bloc between Al-Khalil and Bethlehem is the first of its kind in 20 years.
Nasser Al-Din emphasized the importance of steadfastness among the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and not succumbing to the threats of the Israeli occupation and attempts to displace the population. He pointed out that “the resilience of our people is the safety valve to thwart the occupation’s ambitions to empty the West Bank in favor of further settlement projects.”
He added, “Our cause is going through a critical and sensitive phase, especially with the increased ambitions of the occupation to seize more land in the West Bank, and the reliance on the United States and the illusions that Trump promotes to the Zionist public.”
The Hamas leader indicated that what the West Bank and Jerusalem are experiencing requires mobilizing all components of our nation and people, and confronting all attempts and plans of the occupation to liquidate the Palestinian cause and impose new facts on the ground in favor of the settlers.
Nasser Al-Din emphasized that the people of the West Bank will not give up an inch of their land and will not surrender to the occupation’s will to displace them, no matter the sacrifices and costs involved.
He stressed that the responsibility is growing for all parties, both internationally and locally, to confront the practices of the extremist occupation government and its colonial expansionist plans, which pose a grave threat to the region and the entire area.
