Hamas leader calls for Palestinian unity to face Israel

De facto government spokesman Taher An-Nounou called Palestinians to unite and put an end to political detentions so “the resistance can oppose all Israeli practices in Jerusalem.”

An-Nunu said in a news conference on Monday evening that he “condemns the Israeli practices in Jerusalem,” referring to new plans to move hundreds of Palestinians from their homes in order to create a public park, something he said would “have consequences.”

He stressed the need of Arab and Islamic countries to show their support for Al-Aqsa Mosque and the residents of Jerusalem, “who are under threat of being forced out of their homes and lands.”

He added that settlement-building in the West Bank “needs a strong stance from the international community to stop such practices, including the confiscation of land.”

On a separate note, the Hamas leader said he stands by Christians “in the aftermath of the latest Israeli assault to the holiness of Jesus Christ,” referring to a satirical Israeli television show that mocked the Christian.
