Following Israel's decision to expand its authority in the West Bank and lift restrictions on Jewish land
By Sammy,
Following Israel's decision to expand its authority in the West Bank and lift restrictions on Jewish land purchases there, Hamas is calling on Arab and Muslim countries to take diplomatic action against Israel. In a statement, the group urges those governments to form what it describes as a unified regional front, arguing they have a "historical responsibility" to confront Israel's policies. It specifically calls for severing ties and expelling Israeli ambassadors from countries that maintain relations with Israel, while denouncing the cabinet move as part of a "fascist settler-colonial approach."
Hamas also appeals to Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem to escalate confrontation with Israel, encouraging resistance "by all available means" in response to what it claims are efforts to impose annexation and displacement. The organization links the policy change to broader projects it describes as annexation and Judaization, and it repeatedly uses the term "settlers" to refer to Jews living both inside Israel and in the West Bank as it rallies opposition to the measures.
