AMMAN — In a recorded speech during the 22nd
Al-Aqsa Festival in Karak on Saturday, Khaled Mashal, the overseas head of the
Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), called for a unified response
against Israel's plan to displace Palestinians from the
occupied West Bank. He
emphasized that the issue transcends mere settlement expansion, highlighting
that it's a calculated strategy to relocate West Bank residents to Jordan.
Mashal criticized the Netanyahu government's extremism and
historical actions,
claiming it seeks to quickly settle conflicts in the West Bank, occupied
Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa Mosque, echoing the
Zionists' sentiment that
Palestinians should consider Jordan as their homeland.

Mashal underlined the broader aim of the occupation,
targeting both Palestine and Jordan. He pointed out the intention to expel West
Bank residents, solidify control over Jerusalem both politically and
religiously, and assert dominance over Al-Aqsa Mosque. This aligns with reports
from the
Palestinian Media Center. He stressed that the immediate threat isn't
just to Al-Aqsa but to its potential desecration and seizure, prompting a
crucial question about the loss of land and identity, Ammon News, Al-Rai
reported.
Mashal reassured the Arab and Islamic world that the
dedication to resistance remains strong, centering on Gaza, the West Bank, and
the 1948 territories He rallied all proponents of freedom within the nation to
unite against the Zionist agenda. Stressing the enemy's heightened conflict
escalation, he called for a corresponding response.

expressing admiration for Jordan and its people, lauding the valor of the
Jordanian army's sacrifices, and reaffirming their unwavering solidarity with
the nation.
