Hamas’ top leader in the occupied West Bank, Zaher Jabarin, has vowed that Palestinian resistance will continue amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the West Bank.
Jabarin also called on Arab, Islamic and Western governments to increase pressure on Israel through diplomatic, economic and political measures.
His comments come as violence continues to escalate across the occupied Palestinian territories, including deadly confrontations involving Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents.
Hamas Says Palestinian Resistance Will Continue
In remarks carried by Palestinian media, Jabarin said Palestinians would continue their struggle despite the deaths and destruction caused by the conflict.
He said those killed in Gaza and the West Bank would not be forgotten and accused Israel of continuing what he described as aggression against Palestinians.
Jabarin reaffirmed Hamas’ commitment to resistance and said the losses suffered by Palestinians would strengthen rather than weaken their determination.
Jabarin Calls for International Pressure on Israel
The Hamas leader urged Arab and Muslim countries to expand political, economic and diplomatic measures against Israel.
He also called on Western governments to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of attacks against Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank.
Jabarin argued that stronger international pressure was necessary to address violence against Palestinians and increase accountability for those responsible.
Deadly Clashes Reported Near Nablus
Jabarin praised residents of Tal, a village near Nablus, for confronting Israeli settlers during recent violence.
According to local reports, at least four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed after armed settlers attacked the village on Friday.
The reported deaths make the incident one of the deadliest episodes of violence in the West Bank in recent weeks.
Violence Continues Across the West Bank
The latest comments come as tensions remain high across the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Israeli military operations, settler attacks and clashes with Palestinians have continued to raise concerns about further escalation.
Humanitarian organisations and international bodies have repeatedly called for restraint and renewed diplomatic efforts to protect civilians.
Regional Pressure Grows
Jabarin’s appeal comes amid growing international debate over how governments should respond to the conflict.
While Hamas continues to call for resistance against Israel, international organisations have urged all parties to reduce violence and pursue diplomatic solutions.
The situation remains volatile, with further escalation in Gaza or the West Bank potentially creating additional humanitarian and security challenges across the region.
