This came in a statement released by Hamas on Friday on the 28th anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre.

Describing israel’s crimes as “imprescriptible,” Hamas stressed that the Palestinian people would continue to resist the occupation until its removal from Palestine.

The Movement called on the national factions and political forces to close ranks and adopt a national struggle strategy based on comprehensive resistance.

It also urged the Palestinian people in the occupied territories to escalate their resistance against the occupation and clash with its forces with all available means.

In another statement, the Hamas Movement’s national relations bureau in the West Bank described the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre as “one link in the chain of israel’s ongoing crimes” against the Palestinian people, stressing that such crime confirms that the occupation state “only understands the language of resistance.”

Hamas called on the Palestinian Authority “to renounce its political trajectories that only serve the occupation and its settlers.”

It affirmed that on the 28th anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre, the Palestinians have no other way to confront the occupation except through forming an inclusive national bloc that mobilizes the Palestinian efforts against the occupation, its settlers and its plans to uproot the Palestinian people from their land.
