Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi has declared that the Israeli occupation will not be able to bring safety to its troops and settlers in the West Bank no matter how many strict security measures it takes.

Mardawi stressed that the Palestinian people are committed to resistance and steadfastness, "no matter the sacrifices it costs," emphasizing that the Resistance operations in the West Bank "will not stop despite the occupation's aggression and the pursuit of the resistance fighters and our people by the security forces of the Authority."

He also denounced the behavior of the PA's security forces in Jenin, noting that "it comes at a suspicious time, and at a time when the occupation government is seeking to annex the West Bank and expel the Palestinians."

The Hamas leader called on the Palestinian Authority to immediately stop this "unpatriotic" behavior, which serves the occupation, calling for "working to strengthen the national situation, not to eliminate the resistance fighters in the West Bank."

Mardawi pointed out that what the PA security services are doing in Jenin is "an attempt to end the state of resistance, through the liquidation and assassination of the resistance fighters who are confronting the occupation."

He called on all Palestinians and Palestinian factions to take a strong stance and pressure the Authority to stop its operations.

On Saturday, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, mourned 28-year-old Yazeed Mohammed Ja’aysa, one of the commanders of the Jenin Brigade, who was killed Saturday morning at the hands of the Palestinian Authority's security forces in the Jenin refugee camp, in the occupied West Bank.

On his part, senior Hamas official Abdul Rahman Shadid stated that the actions carried out by the PA's security forces in the West Bank represent a clear targeting of the growing Resistance movement.

Shadid emphasized that these actions amount to a crackdown on the national Resistance movement against the Israeli occupation, stoking internal discord amid the ongoing massacres by the occupation forces in Gaza.

He called on the PA to cease its pursuit of Resistance figures and to instead strengthen the national unity effort, rather than targeting field commanders in the occupied West Bank.

The Hamas official noted that 13 people have been killed by Palestinian security forces in the West Bank since October 7 of last year.

DFLP calls for resolving disputes through responsible dialogue

In the same context, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine warned of the escalating tension and unrest in Jenin and its refugee camp, following the recent incursions by PA security forces, which led to the martyrdom of Yazeed Ja’aysa.

The DFLP emphasized that this comes amid continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in both the West Bank and Gaza, as part of efforts to impose "annexation" plans, expand Israeli settlements, and seize Palestinian land.

The Democratic Front stressed that safeguarding the homeland requires avoiding internal discord and uniting against the occupation, urging Palestinian security forces to serve as a protective shield for citizens and their property and to support the valiant Resistance, which remains the people's ultimate choice to end the occupation and realize their national rights.

The statement called for resolving disputes through responsible dialogue rather than security measures that could inflict severe harm on the social fabric, national cohesion, and efforts to restore unity, especially during these times of genocidal warfare against the Palestinian people, ongoing for over 15 months.

Elsewhere, the DFLP appealed to the Palestinian masses, all national forces, civil society organizations, unions, and grassroots movements to act and pressure an end to internal strife, and urged halting infighting, which only serves the occupation and its plans to dismantle the Palestinian cause.
