Palestinian IC
Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the future Palestinian state and the
Palestinians will leave no stone unturned to protect their holy city,
political bureau member of Hamas Ezzet Resheq said on Wednesday evening.
In comments released shortly after the U.S. President Donald Trump declared
Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state, Resheq
said: "No force on earth, no matter how powerful it is, can impose a new fait
accompli on Occupied Jerusalem. We have all means to respond to the recent
declaration."
Resheq dubbed Trump's declaration "an aggression on the Arab and Islamic
nations along with the world's free people."
"What has been built upon illegitimate foundations is just illegitimate.
Israel will perish soon and Jerusalem will remain Palestine's and Muslims'
eternal capital," he added.
The Hamas leader said protest moves will be staged across the occupied
Palestinian territories and the region in response to Trump's recognition of
Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
On Wednesday evening, U.S. President Donald Trump has formally recognized
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, saying during his speech at the White
House that he will move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, despite
calls from the world leaders to backtrack on the move.
Salah: Trump's Decision Will Entail Dire Consequences
The American president's announcement of his decision to recognize Jerusalem
as Israel's capital will have very severe repercussions in Palestine, the Arab
world and the Islamic arena, Dr. Maher Salah, head of Hamas Movement in the
diaspora, said on Thursday.
Salah, who is currently heading a Hamas delegation on a visit to Malaysia,
said in a press statement, "This is an illegitimate and ill-advised decision,
which contradicts international laws and resolutions, and violates the
sanctity of the holy city of Jerusalem."
He empathized that the decision is refused and will be resisted by all the
Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and free peoples of the world.
"Jerusalem (Bait Al-Maqdes) is a sacred city for both Muslims and Christians.
It is the united capital of Palestine. It has been, and will always be the
first qibla, and the third most sacred mosque. It is a verse (ayah) in the
Quran (the Book of Allah)."
Salah affirmed that Jerusalem will always be a Palestinian, an Arab and an
Islamic city.
"We, in Hamas, call upon the Arab and Muslim Ummah and the free peoples of the
world to stand firm and united against this dangerous decision and support the
Palestinians in their continuous struggle to liberate their homeland and
establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital," he added.
He concluded by saying, "This American move serves as a blatant reminder and a
loud wake-up call to all Arab and Muslim countries and leaders that their true
and only enemy is the illegitimate Zionist occupation. All their efforts and
means should be directed towards uprooting this occupation, freeing Palestine
and returning the Palestinian refugees to their homeland."
Hamas: All options are open to respond to Trump's decision
Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on Wednesday affirmed that all options are
open to challenge Donald Trump's decision to announce Jerusalem the capital of
Israel and transfer the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city.
The Hamas leader, Ismail Ridwan, said during a demonstration in Gaza that
Trump's decision constitutes a blatant disregard for the feelings of Arabs and
Muslims, stressing that this move will never change the fact that Jerusalem is
the eternal capital of Palestine.
The PIC reporter said that thousands of Palestinians, including the head of
Hamas's Political Bureau, Ismail Haneyya, on Wednesday evening participated in
mass demonstrations organized by Hamas movement in Gaza city in protest at the
US president's recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Ridwan called on the Arab governments to expel the US and Israeli ambassadors
from their countries and sever the economic and political relations with the
US administration.
Ha asked the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to hold
urgent meetings to support the Palestinian people in Jerusalem and take
practical steps against the decision, praising the Turkish president, Recep
Tayyip Erdoğan, for his strong position against the US move.
Ashraf Zayed, a Hamas official, in a demonstration launched in the central
Gaza Strip stressed the need to achieve national unity and called on the
Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority to end security coordination with the
Israeli occupation.
The Hamas leader, Yousuf Farahat, in a statement to the PIC said that Trump's
decision challenges the international law which considers Jerusalem an
occupied city, urging the Arab masses to show their protest by boycotting the
US and Israeli goods.
Haneyya: Trump's decision flagrant aggression
Head of the Hamas political Bureau, Ismail Haneyya, on Wednesday said that
Donald Trump's decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem marks "the
beginning of an era of terrible transformations" not just on the Palestinian
level but also on the regional one.
Speaking to al-Jazeera TV channel, Haneyya described the decision as a
"flagrant aggression" and an "uncalculated gamble that knows no limit".
He pointed out that he has contacted the Palestinian Authority president,
Mahmoud Abbas, in addition to a number of Arab and Muslim leaders to discuss
this dangerous decision which, he added, means the official announcement of
the end of the so-called "peace process".
The Hamas leader stressed during the interview that the Palestinians will not
let the US decision pass unchallenged, calling on the Arab countries to stop
their internal conflicts and mobilize energies to defend Jerusalem which is
supposed to be their central issue.
He noted that Hamas has realized the nature of the dangers besetting the
Palestinian cause, so it decided to go for reconciliation and made many
initiatives in the process out of its concern for the future of the
Palestinian cause and people.
Haneyya concluded his speech by affirming that there is no state called Israel
and that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Palestine.
