Ismail Haniyeh, deputy head of Hamas, stressed that stopping the security coordination with the Israeli occupation will result in putting an end to the predominance of settlers in the West Bank.
In remarks to reporters on the side-lines of his visit to the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, Haniyeh said: “The attitude of predominance taken by settlers in the occupied West Bank will not be stopped except by halting security coordination with Israel and raising the hand of the PA’s security services away from the resistance.”
He called for a one national vision that enhances the resistance in the face of the “Zionist orgy or predominance”.
Haniyeh expressed his great trust in the West Bank’s inhabitants, saying: “Those who lit the fire in the West Bank will be burnt with the same fire. We and the Palestinian people have great confidence in the West Bank.”
In another context, Haniyeh considered the recent reshuffle in the national coalition government an exercise of unilateral policy that neglects the Palestinian national consensus and agreement.
At dawn on Friday, Jewish settlers killed Ali Dawabsheh, a toddler, by setting fire to his home in the village of Dawma, south of the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
