Hamas condemns Israeli arrests in WB

Hamas movement has condemned on Wednesday the Israeli arrest campaign in West Bank and Jerusalem against Palestinian leading figures and liberated prisoners.

In its statement, the movement held the occupation fully responsible for the detainees’ lives, warning of the consequences of the arrest campaigns.

The movement stressed that the Israeli continued arbitrary arrests will not undermine the Palestinian icons’ leading role in defense of Palestinian people, rights and holy sites.

The statement called on PA to stop security coordination with the occupier and to stand behind its people against the Israeli arrests and prosecution.

The movement also called on the international human rights institutions to pressure the Israeli authorities for the release of the Palestinian detainees and to expose the occupation crimes.

Israeli forces launched on Tuesday night an arrest campaign against leaders from Hamas, Fatah and Islamic Jihad in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
