In a press release, the Hamas official described the settlement expansion as ‘theft’ and underlined that it would spark anger against the occupation forces and settlers.

He also confirmed that the zionist occupation’s schemes to build thousands of colonial settlement units in occupied Jerusalem and create systems that legalize dozens of colonial farm outposts in the occupied West Bank, which comprises about 7% of area C, are crimes added to the israeli occupation's criminal record of illegal settlement expansion.

Legalizing colonial farm outposts in the occupied West Bank and stealing large areas of Palestinian lands leads to a disaster in the agricultural and livestock sector, the Hamas official pointed out.

He emphasized that these colonial settlement plans unequivocally show the zionist occupation's disregard for international human rights and humanitarian law, especially after the US President gave it the green light to continue with its terrorist activities in occupied Palestine. (ILKHA)
