Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi said that Israel’s forces are committing systematic genocide in the West Bank.
He slammed the Israeli army as “unruly and Nazi-like.”
“The West Bank is being subjected to a systematic criminal campaign through the practices of the Israeli occupation army, which is implementing a policy directed and supported by clear and explicit political and legislative decisions,” he added.
Mardawi noted that the statements of Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz “provide cover for the killings and liquidations, and give the army the green light to continue its terrorism.”
He said that the Israeli army has “proven its Nazism and terrorism in the Gaza Strip through its genocide”.
It has directed its guns, missile launchers, aircraft, and warships at buildings it knew for certain were teeming with children, women, and civilians, he stressed.
Mardawi noted that the Israeli army is “politically protected and shielded, kills outside the law, and carries out executions as we have seen in Jenin and elsewhere.”
He explained that this lawlessness is not limited to the Israeli army alone, but also includes the settler mobs who move under its full protection.
Mardawi noted that the West Bank’s dire situation is the result of a systematic government policy based on swallowing up the land and cutting the West Bank into north, center and south.
It aims to isolate Jerusalem from its surroundings and separate major cities from villages and camps, in addition to building more than 1,000 permanent checkpoints and hundreds of flying checkpoints and gates on bypass roads, he warned.
These measures come to implement the settlement, annexation and full Judaization program in a directed and fully supported manner by the Israeli government, the Hamas leader said.
He stressed that this matter is no longer based on merely individual actions by settlers or extremist groups and Nazi organizations, but is a clearly declared government policy.
