Muhammad al-Deif, Chief of Staff of the Ezz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), warned the Israeli occupation authorities and the settlers that “if the aggression against the people of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem does not stop immediately, then the Qassam Brigades will not stand idly by, and the occupation will push The price is too high. "
The guest emphasized that the Palestinian resistance leadership and the Qassam Brigades are closely watching what is happening in Jerusalem, directing a salute to the people of Sheikh Jarrah.
Most Wanted
Deif is one of the most wanted Palestinians by the Israeli occupation authorities for more than two decades, accusing him of being behind a number of major military operations against them, and he survived several assassination attempts, the most recent of which was during the aggression on Gaza in 2014.
The guest's activity is shrouded in mystery and secrecy, and his personality is unknown to the public opinion, and he appears in the media only rarely through written statements or audio recordings.
For days, tension has been prevailing in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem, after the occupation forces threatened a number of Jerusalemite families to evacuate their homes for the benefit of settlement associations.
A video spread of a Palestinian woman talking with an Israeli settler who threatened her with stealing her house, under the pretext that if he did not steal it, someone else would steal it.
And on Sunday, the Israeli Supreme Court postponed issuing its decision in this regard, and gave the two parties 4 days (that is, until Thursday), to reach an agreement between them, before issuing its final decision.
The decision sparked official and factional Palestinian rejection and condemnation, and the residents expressed their rejection of the decision, as it recognizes the legitimacy of settlers' claims of owning homes.
International Criminal
Palestine announced that the file of Palestinian homes threatened with settler confiscation in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood will be referred to the International Criminal Court.
The spokesman for the Palestinian government, Ibrahim Melhem, said on his official Facebook page that the file of the houses targeted for their seizure in Sheikh Jarrah was referred to the International Criminal Court as a war crime in accordance with the Rome Statute, and a clear violation of international law and international humanitarian law.
