Hamas warns of harming residents of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood

Sunday 2-May-2021

Hamas Movement has warned the Israeli occupation of any actions that would harm the people of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem and held it responsible for the repercussions of these actions.

Fawzi Barhoum Hamas’s spokesman said in a written statement on Sunday “The mass displacement of our people in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and the seizure of their homes is an obvious targeting of the Palestinian identity of Jerusalem and the Palestinian presence in the city.”

Barhoum argued that the absence of decisive and responsible positions by the Palestinian Authority towards this Zionist aggression and the Arab normalization encouraged the escalated violation of the Israeli occupation and provided an official cover for its crimes.

He added that confronting the “Zionist” aggression requires speeding up the official adoption of a national resistance strategy that strengthens the steadfastness of the Jerusalemites.

Hamas’s spokesman called on Jerusalemites and the Palestinians of the 1948 occupied lands to intensify their presence in the houses alleys and streets of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood to prevent the implementation of the “Zionist” schemes.

He called on the Arab League the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the people of the Arab and Islamic nations to assume their responsibilities in protecting the Jerusalemites and supporting the resistance of the Palestinians.
