“Any measure towards the legitimization of this [Zionist] entity, normalization of relations with it, or cooperation with it constitute an aggression against our people, our nation, our holy places, and our Jerusalem. Whoever goes to that entity, sits with them, coordinates with them, and cooperates with them represents an aggression against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, and all of Palestine.”“Saleh Al-Arouri, Deputy Chairman Of Hamas Political Bureau: The Recent Terror Attacks Constitute A New Level In Our Confrontation With Israel; Arab States Should Support, Arm Us Like The West Supports, Arms Ukraine; Instead, They Normalize With Israel,” MEMRI, March 28, 2022, https://www.memri.org/tv/hamas-politbureau-deputy-chariman-arouri-beersheba-hadera-confrontation-israel-arabs-ukraine-normalize.

Statement following a December 16 shooting attack in the West Bank that killed one and wounded two:

“We congratulate the heroic operation in Nablus against the occupation forces and the murderous settlers, as it is in line with the Palestinian nation’s all-out struggle. The operation proves yet again that our heroic people in the West Bank will continue their legitimate struggle until they expel the occupying regime from the entire Palestinian territories and wipe out settlers. The spirit of resistance and sacrifice, which prevails across West Bank cities, is the main guarantor of our people’s victory. It will help them arrive at their goals of liberating the homeland and repatriating the displaced.”Judah Ari Gross and Aaron Boxerman, “Israeli man killed, two injured in northern West Bank terror shooting,” Times of Israel, December 16, 2021, https://www.timesofisrael.com/one-killed-two-injured-in-northern-west-bank-shooting/; “Palestinian resistance groups praise West Bank retaliatory shooting attack as natural response to Israel’s crimes,” ParsToday, December 17, 2021, https://parstoday.com/en/news/west_asia-i160860-palestinian_resistance_groups_praise_west_bank_retaliatory_shooting_attack_as_natural_response_to_israel%E2%80%99s_crimes.
