Hamas on the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration: We will stand until freedom and return The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement on the 109th anniversary of the "Balfour Declaration" and emphasized that the Palestinian nation remains steadfast in its country and adheres to its rights, land and sanctities and will defend it until freedom and return. This movement stated that the crimes of the occupiers and their colonial plans could never erase the national identity of the Palestinian nation or reduce their historical and permanent rights. In this statement, referring to the increasing aggression and crimes of the occupiers in the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, Hamas defined the situation of the residents of Gaza as "a real disaster and the continuation of the genocidal war" and added that the Palestinian nation in the West Bank and Jerusalem is facing dangerous plans of forced immigration and international Jews. This too with the silence and inaction of the international community.
