Hamas has strongly criticized the Israeli government’s proposal to annex territories belonging to Arab nations
The Hamas movement has issued a forceful denunciation of Israel's proposal to annex additional Palestinian and Arab territories.
On Tuesday, the statement highlighted the Israeli regime’s aggressive stance and expansionist objectives, as reaffirmed by the latest plan.
Hamas has asserted that the map serves as additional proof of Israel’s colonial ambitions and its strategy to intensify aggression in order to dominate the area and exploit its resources.
The movement subsequently urged the Arab League, along with Arab and Islamic countries, to take strong measures to counter Israel’s aspirations and halt its offenses against Palestinians.
Hamas has issued a statement urging the Arab League and Arab and Islamic governments to take decisive measures in response to what it describes as aggressive policies and repeated declarations amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the West Bank. The statement calls for action against what it terms as Zionist crimes against Palestinians and emphasizes the need for solidarity and support in countering what it perceives as fascist strategies that threaten the whole region.
Following comments by Israel’s far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich, a map has emerged highlighting his aspiration not only to annex all Palestinian territories extending to the Jordan River but also to expand into neighboring countries including Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon.
He additionally articulated his aspiration to expand territorial claims, extending to regions encompassing Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
In an earlier declaration, Hamas called upon Arab and Muslim communities, along with advocates worldwide, to intensify efforts in pressuring governments and international bodies to transcend beyond simple condemnation. The group emphasized the necessity for these entities to fulfill their responsibilities in halting what they described as a “holocaust” perpetrated by the Zionist occupation, which they claim is emboldened by U.S. support.
On Tuesday, Palestinian and Jordanian officials issued strong condemnations of an Israeli map that asserts territorial claims over parts of several Arab nations, labeling it as part of the controversial concept of “greater Israel.”
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority headquartered in Ramallah, condemned a map circulated on Israeli social media platforms this week, labeling it as a clear breach of international resolutions and legal frameworks.
He stated that Israeli occupation policies, actions by settlers, and the continuous incursions into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound necessitate an urgent international response to halt the ongoing conflict and devastation faced by the Palestinian people.
A spokesperson urged the upcoming U.S. administration to reconsider its unwavering support for Israeli policies that compromise security and peace in the West Asia region.
A map featuring segments of Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese territories was displayed.
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry issued a statement denouncing the document, labeling it as “provocative and without foundation.”
