"The remarks made by the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the ısraeli occupation's West Bank settlements do not violate the international law are an abhorrent violation to every single article in the International Law and International Humanitarian Law," HAMAS said.

Stating that Such statements highlight that the US administration involvement in attacking Palestinian rights, HAMAS said: "We think that settlements are a crime against humanity. The ısraeli occupation, indeed, has stolen the land of Palestine, after forcing out the indigenous people and helped settlers who migrated from around the globe to settle in Palestine."

"The ısraeli settlements are illegal, and the Palestinians will continue struggling against the ısraeli occupation until they return to their hometowns and villages from which they were forced out in 1948."
