The deputy head of the political bureau of the "Hamas" movement, and its leader in the West Bank , Saleh al-Arouri , said on Tuesday that the next will be more difficult for the occupation and its settlers in light of the resistance's extension to separate areas of the West Bank, and that it will fail to eliminate it as it failed before.

Al-Arouri added, in an interview with Hamas's website, "The resistance in the West Bank is constantly on the rise, and the flame of resistance has not quenched. On the contrary, it has diversified its performance and improved its efficiency, and the area of the participating groups is expanding, and its geography is expanding day by day."

And he indicated that every "resistance action in the West Bank, Hamas either stands behind it, supports it, or protects it and supports it, despite that, Hamas does not look at the issue of resistance with a partisan or factional view. They are a crown on our heads, so every resistance effort in the West Bank by Hamas contributed to it in one way or another. like he said.

He pointed out that the resistance has increased since the "Aqaba Summit," contrary to what was expected by the occupation and others, stressing that the resistance will continue and will not stop.

The leader of the "Hamas" movement in the West Bank called for the formation of expanded field popular committees in the West Bank to confront settlers and protect Palestinian villages and towns, and for everyone to participate in these committees at all official and popular levels.

Al-Arouri considered that what happened in Hawara was a natural result of the official support of the settlers in the occupying state.

He pointed out that his movement supports the popular resistance that drains the occupation and confuses its calculations.

Regarding the blessed month of Ramadan and the possibility of escalation in it, the deputy head of the political bureau of the "Hamas" movement said, "Our position is clear regarding the occupation's policies against Al-Aqsa Mosque. Our people, the occupation's attempt to use this to impose its policy of temporal and spatial division and to allow the settlers to perform Talmudic rituals will certainly be met with the reaction of our people. The occupation is in Jerusalem, and our patience is running out, and we will be at the trust of our people in us.”

He called on Jerusalemites to confront the occupation's policies of demolishing homes and seizing land, and thwarting the plans of Ben Gvir and others.

Regarding the prisoners' file, Al-Arouri said: "The liberation of prisoners is a top priority for the leadership of the movement and the leadership of the Al-Qassam Brigades. The movement, throughout its history, has followed a strategy of liberation through the exchange of soldiers captured by the movement. This strategy has proven successful, and we are waging a battle of wills in that, and the heroic prisoners are a major part of this." The battle, and we hope that it will achieve its goals, but the occupation’s intransigence, its procrastination, and its attempt to escape from the facts make the course of negotiations slow and faltering due to positions related to the occupation’s environment, but we will not surrender to these positions, and we will not leave our prisoners at the mercy of the occupation and its positions, and we will take every measure we can without caring. Then in exchange for that, the liberation of the prisoners is a promise that we will fulfill.”

He stressed that his movement would not allow the occupation to single out the prisoners, and that any attack on them would be met with a response, calling on all international parties to put pressure on the occupation government in this direction.
