The escalated pace of Israel’s settlement activity is the by-product of Donald Trump’s Israel visit Hamas said Tuesday.
Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Kanou’ attributed the swift upsurge in Israel’s illegal settlement construction embodied by the government’s recent approval of a bid to construct 1000 settlement units on Palestinian land in the West Bank is the outcome of a recent stopover by the pro-Israel US President Donald Trump.
According to al-Kanou’ Trump’s visit gave Israel a green light for more crimes and land-grab schemes against the Palestinians.
“This is a dangerous escalation aiming to tear the West Bank from limb to limb and to Judaize the holy city of Occupied Jerusalem” warned al-Kanou’. “The fallouts of the visit are a blow on the face of those who continue to lay a bet on futile peace talks and on the US role.”
