Hamas Land Day Statement
On the 49th anniversary of Land Day, the Hamas Movement reaffirmed the Palestinian people's deep-rooted connection to their historic land, adding that the Israeli occupation has no sovereignty or legitimacy over an iota of the Palestinian land, including Jerusalem.
"The 49th anniversary of Land Day comes amidst a campaign of genocide, displacement, ethnic cleansing, and settlement and annexation crimes carried out by the fascist occupation government against the Palestinian people across our land in Gaza, the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem. However, this has strengthened our belief that the Resistance is the only means to defend our land and holy sites, extract our legitimate rights, and foil all the occupation's aggressive plans," Hamas said in a statement on March 29.
Hamas expressed its belief that the Palestinian people would remain deeply rooted in their land, defending it until they succeed in liberating it from the Israeli occupation; would continue defending and protecting Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which it described as "jewels in the crown of our historic and blessed land," and defended the right of return of the Palestinian people.
"The refugees' right to return to their homeland and areas from which they were forcibly displaced is imprescriptible. This right is both individual and collective, and no one has the authority to relinquish it," the Movement highlighted.
