Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said Monday night destroying Sheperd Hotel in occupied holy Qods and construction of Zionist residential units in its stead are Zionists' steps to Judaize the holy city.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Hamas communiqué on the matter reiterates that the Zionist regime has destroyed the historic Sheberd Hotle at Sheikh Jarah old district of the occupied hly Qods (Jerusalem) aimed at constructing 20 residential units for the Jews there.

Elsewhere in Hamas communiqué it is noted that the owner of that hotel was the late Mufti of Qods Sheikh Amin al-Hosseini, adding, 'We condemn the Zionist regime's move that is in line not only with Judaizing the ancient city that is holy for all three monotheist religions of Islam, Christianity an Judaism, but also a step aimed at annihilating the historic identity of the city at its old Arab Quarter of the city.'

The communiqué has asked the Palestinians to resist against the Zionist township construction moves of the racist Zionist regime inside and outside the occupied holy Qods.
The Hamas Movement has also asked the self rule administration to end its useless negotiations with the Zionists and also to stop pursuing and arresting the resistance forces that are trying to defend the holy Qods and the denied rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation.

Hamas has also asked the Arab countries to end concealing the self rule administration's negotiations with the Zionists, which are nothing but a cover for implementation of Tel Aviv's Zionist township construction projects.
