Al-Qassam Website - Hamas movement has condemned the Israeli occupation's approval of tenders for the construction of more than 1,000 colonial settlement units in the illegal settlements of "Efrat" and "Beitar Illit", both in Bethlehem, and "Gilo", east of occupied Jerusalem, as a continuation of its aggressively Judaizing approach targeting the Palestinian people and homeland. 

Denouncing such appalling encroachment upon the Palestinian homeland, Hamas renewed its call for the Palestinian Authority (PA) to end security collaboration with the Israeli occupation, which "only serves its agenda at the expense of the legitime Palestinian national rights."

The resistance movement has also urged the international community and the United Nations to assume their responsibilities towards ending the Israeli occupation and its policies and violations against our Palestinian people and their homeland and holy sites.
