Commenting on the participation of a number of Israeli settlers in a wedding party in Deir Qaddis west of Ramallah, Hamas official Abdurrahman Shadeed stated the following:

We vehemently condemn allowing a number of Israeli settlers to participate in a Palestinian wedding party in Deir Qaddis west of Ramallah as a strange occurrence that does not reflect the common sense of the Palestinian people, who adhere to resistance as a means to end the Israeli occupation to Palestine. In addition, such participation is not in line with the values and great sacrifices of the Palestinian people.

Hamas stresses that similar participations, the PA-adopted security collaboration, or Arab normalisation with the Israeli occupation at the official level do not legitimise the Israeli occupation to our land. The Palestinian people are  fully aware of this point and will continue in the path of resistance.

The PA officials involved in such a crime should be held accountable. They have to be boycotted and condemned for their non-national behaviour.
