GAZA, June 10 (NNN-WAFA) – Ismail Haniyeh, politburo chief of the Hamas movement, called for holding emergency Arab and Islamic summits, to confront Israeli plans of annexing lands in the West Bank.
The office of Haniyeh in Gaza said, in an emailed press statement that, he addressed letters to 40 Arab and Islamic countries.
“It’s necessary to back the Palestinian position, which rejected the projects of settlement in the West Bank and the Judaising of Jerusalem,” said the statement, which quoted Haniyeh as saying.
Haniyeh stressed that, they have to move as urgent as possible, “to confront the Israeli annexation policy because it is a real danger to the present and future of Palestine, as well as, the Arab and Islamic states.”
“It is important to ensure a secure political and diplomatic network, to defend the Palestinian project and make serious and unified positions that reject and illegalise the annexation plans,” said Haniyeh.
He also accused Israel of exploiting its attempts of normalisation with some Arab and Islamic states, “to implement its plans on the occupied territories of Palestine.”– NNN-WAFA
