Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas political bureau, said on Thursday evening that what is happening in occupied Jerusalem after the flags march illustrates the nature of the conflict, with its religious and national dimensions.

In a press statement, Haniyeh considered that the closure of the Old City in Jerusalem reflects the settlers' fear of the steadfastness of the people of occupied Jerusalem.

He added, "The seasons of confrontation with the enemy continue, and our people will close the account only by liberating the land and Jerusalem and returning." like he said.

He believed that the Israeli occupation's mobilization from north to south to provide protection for the march of flags reflects the security fragility in which it is living.

He said, "The flag of Palestine, which flies over our land, establishes the identity of the homeland and its legitimate owners."
