Hamas calls for escalated resistance after Ganim settlement renewal

Hamas issued a statement warning against accelerated settlement activity in the West Bank following the re-establishment of Ganim settlement near Jenin. The group called on Palestinians to "strengthen their steadfastness and attachment to their land" and "increase the use of all means of resistance and confrontation" to deter Israeli forces and settlers. Hamas described the settlement renewal, which involved participation by Israeli government ministers, as part of "plans of Judaization, annexation, and displacement," urging unity among factions to thwart these efforts.
