AhlulBayt News Agency: Abdul Rahman Shadid, a senior leader in the Hamas Movement, affirmed that the ongoing attacks by settler militias against the Palestinian people in the West Bank, and the dangerous escalation witnessed in the village of Shalal al-Auja north of Jericho, come as part of a systematic policy aimed at intimidating citizens, constricting their daily lives, and imposing a new reality in order to facilitate annexation and forced displacement.
Shadid explained on Saturday that the daily attacks endured by West Bank governorates, including demolition, vandalism, theft, and organized intimidation, are carried out in full coordination between the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and settler gangs. This clearly exposes the brutality of the occupation, its disregard for any laws or norms, and its complete indifference to all international warnings about the grave consequences of persisting in its policy of forced displacement.
He stressed that these “crimes and terrorist attacks will not undermine the determination and steadfastness of our people, their resilience on their land, or their adherence to their rights”, which they will never relinquish no matter how much the occupation escalates its repression and aggression. “Our people will not allow the occupation’s settlement schemes to pass, regardless of the cost”, he added.
Shadid called on the Palestinian masses to intensify mobilization and solidarity to confront these attacks, and to strengthen the resilience of residents in the targeted villages and communities.
He also urged human rights institutions and the international community to shoulder their responsibilities, to end the suspicious silence regarding settler crimes, and to act immediately “to hold the occupation accountable for its ongoing violations against our people and our land”.
