Hamas Warns of Third Uprising Against ’Israel’

Local Editor

Hamas said "Israel's" illegal settlement construction and economic hardships move Palestinians closer to a third uprising [intifada], as a spokesman said on Sunday.

Hamas spokesman Hussam Badran said on Sunday that Palestinians were headed toward a "direct confrontation" with "Israel."

He also accused the Palestinian Authority [PA]'s security forces of working with the "Israeli" military against Hamas members in the occupied West Bank.

Recently, the movement's spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri warned that an intifada can be launched any time over an escalation of aggression by the Tel Aviv regime.

"Resistance through every channel is the legitimate right of the Palestinian people, to liberate the land, the holy places, and the prisoners," he said.

The Tel Aviv regime is continuing its search and arrest operations in the occupied West Bank to find three Zionists who went missing on June 12. Four Palestinians have been killed in the "Israeli" raids and over 300 Palestinians, including Hamas members and lawmakers, have also been detained in recent days.

"Israel" has accused Hamas of being behind the alleged disappearance of the three Zionists. However, Hamas has denied any involvement, and says Tel Aviv's allegation about the abduction of the three Zionists by Hamas is aimed at thwarting the recent reconciliation deal between Hamas and Fatah to form a unity government.
