Hamas: US plot to kill off Intifada doomed to fail

The Palestinian Hamas resistance movement has stressed that a United States' plot against the resistance front to crush the third Intifada (uprising) against Israel will fail, saying Washington cannot pull the plug on Palestinians’ legitimate struggle across the occupied territories.

Hamas spokesman Abdel Latif al-Qanou made the remarks in a statement, slamming the US administration's plot to prevent a third intifada as the situation is escalating in the occupied West Bank amid rise in Israeli aggression and crimes.  

The so-called "security plan" was drafted by US security coordinator Lieutenant General Michael Fenzel claiming that Palestinian Authority’s suspension of security coordination with Tel Aviv is a key reason for the ongoing escalation in the occupied territories.

The decision to suspend the security coordination was made by the Palestinian Authority headed by Mahmoud Abbas after one of the deadliest Israeli raids in the flashpoint city of Jenin.

“The Intifada and Palestinians revolution against the Zionist regime will continue unabated in the occupied Palestinian territories, and Palestinians will keep on defending their lands and sanctities,” Qanou said.

The Hamas spokesman also said that Palestinians reserve the right to use any form of resistance to confront Israel and the crimes of the regime’s incumbent far-right cabinet led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The US will never manage to deal a blow to the Axis of Resistance, and the plans devised by the White House and being pushed by Fenzel are a non-starter, he warned.

Qanou further said that Fenzel will not be able to kill off the rising spirit of resistance across the West Bank and eradicate the resistance front, stating that such plans are self-defeating.
