Chief of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says Palestinians will face Israeli atrocities in the occupied West Bank with more resistance.

In a press release on Tuesday, Ismail Haniyeh said that the Palestinian people would face the Israeli blockade and colonial settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank with steadfastness, resilience, and resistance.

"There is no political or security solution in the West Bank after the so-called political process has failed and the papers of the Oslo accords have scatted around,” the Hamas chief added.

"Our people no longer wager on this [political] path, which has been detrimental to the Palestinian cause and our historical rights in Palestine," Haniyeh emphasized.


The most recent Israeli violations in the West Bank, including arresting and killing Palestinian citizens, demolishing homes, and continuing the annexation and Juadization plans in Jerusalem al-Quds "will not break the Palestinian people's steadfastness and resilience," he further stressed.

"There is no solution but ending the Israeli occupation of our land and holy places,” the Hamas chief concluded.

Israeli forces launch raids on various cities of the West Bank almost on a daily basis under the pretext of detaining what the regime calls “wanted” Palestinians. The raids usually lead to violent confrontations with residents.

More than 200 Palestinians have been killed this year in the occupied Palestinian territories and Gaza. The majority of these fatalities have been recorded in the West Bank. At least 30 people have been killed in Palestinian retaliatory attacks against Israeli settlers during that time.
