Hamas leader Abdul Rahman Shadid has called upon the Palestinian public in the occupied West Bank to mobilize, rally, strengthen their presence, and maintain a field deployment across all villages and towns targeted by settlement expansion. He urged them to confront settler attacks and terrorism by all possible means to disrupt the calculations of the occupying entity and its settler groups, and to thwart annexation and displacement plans.

Settler Terrorism Will Not Break Resolve

Shadid emphasized on Thursday that settler terrorism will not succeed in breaking the will of the Palestinian people or uprooting them from their land. He asserted that resistance and steadfast adherence to core principles will remain the strongest weapon against aggression until the occupation is defeated and all its settlement and Judaization projects are thwarted.

The Hamas leader stressed that the current phase demands the broadest state of unity and national mobilization, noting that the ongoing attacks are no longer targeting a specific area but have become an organized project aimed at:

• Imposing forced displacement.

• Seizing Palestinian lands.

• Breaking the will and steadfastness of the Palestinian people across various governorates of the West Bank.

Praise for Steadfastness and Call for Public Protection Committees

Shadid praised the resilience of the Palestinian people in the villages and towns facing daily attacks, commending the actions of citizens in confronting settler groups and defending their lands and properties. He affirmed that this steadfastness represents the first line of defense against the settlement project.

He concluded by pointing out the necessity of:

• Strengthening popular protection and watch committees in threatened areas.

• Supporting targeted communities.

• Intensifying national and field activities to bolster citizen resilience and defeat the plans of the Zionist enemy.
