During a television interview with the Palestinian Al-Aqsa TV, Saleh Al-Arouri, the deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas, said that the West Bank is now returning to the "repeated pages of glory," stressing that the Palestinian people are "unified in the West Bank, Gaza, the occupied territories in 1948, and the diaspora, adhering to their right and principles."

Al-Arouri added that the people of Palestine are always ready "to confront [Israel] with resistance, to obtain their rights and defend their sanctities."

The deputy head of Hamas' political bureau stressed that every day they delay igniting a comprehensive battle against settlements in the West Bank would lead to waging the battle later under difficult and worse circumstances.

To exploit the internal division of the occupation

He also stressed the need to confront the occupation project at present, and "we have the opportunity in light of their internal division and in light of a global division and an unprecedented negative attitude towards this government."

"The occupation wants to demolish Al-Aqsa and Judaize Al-Quds, uproot our people from the West Bank, and falsify all of our history. Therefore, each of us must have a role in resisting the occupation in the West Bank," he added, describing the West Bank as the heart of the battle now.

Occupation "does not sleep at night"

He noted that despite having a limited number of active resistance fighters in the West Bank, the occupier "does not sleep at night."

The permanent state of tension, turmoil, and confusion of the occupation, has made occupation authorities' attempt to attract millions of settlers much more difficult, day after day.

"The Zionist government has taken settlement decisions, and has placed all tools in the hands of the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, the most extreme and insane person, and he says that at least one million settlers will be transferred to the West Bank, during the remaining tenure of this government."

The Hamas leader expressed his optimism when there are individual resistance operations by people who are not involved in any organization, "because we are all in one organization called the Palestinian people; this is our organization for which all the factions and the people work."

Hamas focuses its operations against settlements

In the same context, the deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas said that the movement "focuses its operations against settlements, because it is the heart of the occupation, and it is its most dangerous face."

Al-Arouri considered in his speech that organized movements such as Hamas should always be ready to launch resistance, "but when the confrontation turns into comprehensive popular resistance, this is because of the occupation and its measures that push all the people to join the resistance."

The leader in Al-Hurmah addressed the people of the West Bank, saying: "We must fight, and there is no excuse for anyone to fail to participate in this battle, and I do not think that a young man from our people accepts this shame in his history and conscience."

Al-Arouri stressed that "Hamas is part of this people and at the heart of the resistance, and we do not disavow or embarrass ourselves from the resistance, and therefore we are present in the resistance, and we do not accept ourselves to be absent from the resistance of our people."

Assassination threats do not scare us

Regarding the occupation's threats to assassinate leaders of the movement, Al-Arouri stressed that this matter is not new, as the occupation project began with massacres, killings, displacement, and torture, and it assassinates everyday martyrs from among the Palestinian people.

Al-Arouri stressed that "these threats do not frighten us, and we as the Palestinian people do not have options, and therefore we will not stop resisting."
