The formation of a new far-right Israeli cabinet of war criminals boosts the challenges posed to the Palestinian cause, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem has said.

In a press release, Qasem stressed that the Palestinian people would continue their legitimate struggle until restoring all of their lands and holy sites, as they “don’t care about the formation of such Israeli government.”

Qasem called for unifying Palestinian efforts and capabilities to face off the colonial policy of the newly-formed extremist government, which has put annexing the occupied West Bank on top of its agenda.
