Palestinian factions: We won't abandon Sheikh Jarrah
As Israeli settlers brutally storm Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, Palestinian factions vow to unite in the face of the occupier.
In the wake of ongoing Israeli attacks on the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, Palestinian factions confirmed that "what is happening in Sheikh Jarrah is a full-fledged crime."
Hamas official Mushir Al-Masri affirmed that Palestinians will respond to the escalation with an escalation, recalling that a deterrence formula has been imposed by the Palestinian resistance.
"We cannot abandon Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and we will not abandon Salem family or any other family."
On his account, the Islamic Jihad leader in Gaza, Khader Habib, told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli apartheid practices which threaten the entire region must be exposed.
"All of Palestine belongs to our people," Habib continued, "and this entity has no choice but to leave," emphasizing that "all Palestinians are being targeted, and they must unite in resisting the occupier."
Furthermore, a member of Fatah Revolutionary Council Muhammad Al-Lahham told Al Mayadeen that what is happening in Sheikh Jarrah has attracted worldwide attention, stressing that "we must pledge to build a state of solidarity in the face of the occupier."

On his account, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council Jamal Huwail agreed with Al-Lahham, reiterating that "the response to what is happening in Al-Quds is to unite in the face of the occupier."
Talal Abu Zarifa, a member of the political bureau of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said that the Israeli attacks are systematic, adding that what is happening in occupied Al-Quds contradicts international law.
Meanwhile, Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Abu Ahmed Fouad, assured that all the occupation’s crimes are backed by Washington, pointing out that there is complete Arab silence.
