Hazem Qassem, Hamas’s spokesman, said that Israel’s open war against the Palestinian presence topped by the policy of house demolitions requires the acceleration of a unified national position based on a joint strategy of struggle.
“The escalation of house demolitions, the increase in settlement building and the confiscation of lands, all these indicate a gradual implementation of the annexation plan”, he escalated.
Qassem stressed in a written statement on Saturday the need for the Palestinian Authority to implement the outcomes of the meeting of the Secretaries-General of the Palestinian factions and to accelerate the activation of popular resistance.
He explained that the implementation of the annexation plan occurs under the cover of normalization agreements with some Arab regimes, warning that normalization agreements will encourage Israel to escalate its aggression against the Palestinian people.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs announced that the occupation demolished and seized more than 52 Palestinian homes within two weeks.
Qassem underlined that Israel practices racial discrimination against the Palestinians in its ugliest form, in a clear disregard for all human laws and norms.
The Hamas official pointed out that the escalation of demolitions and confiscations confirms once again, “The Israeli occupation is implementing a policy of ethnic cleansing in the full view of the whole world.”
Reports issued by institutions affiliated with the United Nations revealed that Israel had demolished and seized more than 689 homes in Jerusalem and the West Bank since the beginning of this year 2020.
