Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem said that the announcement of extremist Israeli Ben Gvir that he had reached a coalition agreement giving him the so-called Ministry of National Security with considerable powers confirms the insistence of the incoming Zionist government to adopt more racist and fascist policies against the Palestinian people, land, and holy places.

Qassem added that the escalation of aggression against our people, especially in the territories occupied in 1948, will be met with more steadfastness and resistance and with an escalation of the uprising to deter this colonial occupation and its terrorist symbols.
