In a statement on Friday, Hamas affirmed that the Palestinian people from all spectra have a national duty to confront the zionist regime’s Judaization plan in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
“Today, we are facing the same mentality of the zionist gangs that chased and killed our people and expelled them from their land. They are now bringing back memories of the Nakba (catastrophe) that were experienced by the families of al-Jaouni, al-Iskafi, al-Sabbagh, and other families who came to live in Jerusalem after they were displaced from Jaffa City during the Nakba,” Hamas underscored.
“The scene of injustice and cruelty that has befallen Sheikh Jarrah’s families and their exposure to displacement from their land and homes twice entail activating all forms of resistance to respond to the crimes of the occupation and settler gangs,” it added.
The Movement appealed to the Arab League and the UN to move and take action against Israel’s systematic displacement of the Jerusalemites from their homes and city.
