    The Palestinian resistance movement (Hamas) condemned the Zionist occupation's announcement of plans to build more than ten thousand settlement units in Jerusalem, considering it to be part of a comprehensive war on the people.

    Hamas said in a statement: "The announcement by the Zionist occupation authorities of plans to build more settlement outposts and units in occupied Jerusalem, including the construction of a religious school for Zionist extremists in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, in addition to more than ten thousand settlement units on the lands of Palestinian citizens in Jerusalem; is a new violation that comes within the framework of the comprehensive war waged by the government of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu against our Palestinian people, which aims to impose new facts on the ground in an attempt to impose its alleged sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.".

    The statement added, "While we warn of the repercussions of these dangerous Zionist measures, we call for unifying the Palestinian ranks to confront this Zionist encroachment on our land and rights, and engaging in a comprehensive national program to confront the malicious settlement plans, and activating the resistance struggle until the occupation is expelled from our land and our independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital."
