Hamas leader Abdul Rahman Shadid: We warn against the accelerating confiscation of land and property in the West Bank

Hamas leader Abdul Rahman Shadid:

▪We warn against the accelerating confiscation of land and property in the West Bank, following the issuance of four Israeli military orders targeting land in the governorates of Qalqilya, Nablus, Tubas, and the Northern Jordan Valley.

▪The targeting includes about 165 dunams in the northern West Bank as part of annexation, Judaization, and settlement plans; and we call for escalation in confrontation, refusing to accept these decisions, and defending the land and holy sites with all strength.

▪The occupation plans target the Palestinian presence and the lands near settlements in order to expand settlements and impose new facts on the ground, and we affirm that these policies will fail in the face of our people's steadfastness and their heroic resistance.

▪Attempts to displace our people do not stop, and these military orders coincide with a dangerous escalation in settlers' crimes. We also affirm that all these measures will not grant the occupation any legitimacy or right over our land.
