The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has stated that the Israeli occupation's demolition of the Al-Araqib and Humsa Al-Baqia'a villages and the planned Judaisation of occupied Jerusalem's Khan al-Ahmar is a continuation of the policy of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement adopted by the extremist Israeli occupation.

Hamas spokesperson Abdul Latif Al-Qanoua reiterated that such criminal policies blatantly violate international and humanitarian laws.

The Israeli occupation's policy of forced displacement is a failed attempt to break the will of the Palestinian people, al-Qanoua continued.
