Press Release
Will the Islamic Ummah Leave the People of the West Bank to Face Jewish Crimes Alone, as They Previously Left the People of Gaza?!
(Translated)

The Jewish army has launched a military operation in the West Bank under the name "Iron Wall," which began in the city of Jenin and its refugee camp on January 21st. It was later expanded to include the city of Tulkarm and its camps. According to the Jewish army’s statements, this operation aims to secure settlers and eliminate "terrorism" in the West Bank, particularly in the north and its refugee camps. So far, the operation has resulted in 17 martyrs, dozens of wounded and detained individuals. Jewish forces have expelled families from targeted areas, demolished homes, destroyed infrastructure, and besieged hospitals. Local media quoted Jenin's mayor, Mohammad Jarrar, as saying: "The Israeli army forced about 15,000 residents of the camp to evacuate. They have demolished, burned, and blown up more than 100 homes since the operation began. Between 70 and 80 houses were burned, 30 to 40 were completely destroyed, and hundreds more were partially damaged. There has also been widespread bulldozing of streets and destruction of water, electricity, sewage, and communication networks." He added, "What is new in this military operation is the mass displacement of Jenin camp residents and the ongoing demolition of homes and buildings." All of this is happening while the West Bank has been fragmented by hundreds of barriers and checkpoints, turning every city and even every village into a small prison. This has only increased the suffering and hardship of the people of the Blessed Land, in addition to the ongoing demolition of homes and structures across various parts of the West Bank.

As soon as a ceasefire was announced in Gaza, the Jewish entity began its military operation in the northern West Bank, where Jewish crimes and operations had never ceased even during the genocide in Gaza. Added to this was the Palestinian Authority’s operation, falsely and deceitfully named “Watan Protection,” which preceded the Jewish operation in compliance with American and Jewish dictates. This operation involved besieging the Jenin refugee camp for more than 48 days and attempting to eliminate the resistance fighters, whom they labeled as “outlaws.” In fact, the Palestinian Authority is now aiding the Jewish entity in its aggression against Jenin, Tulkarm, and their refugee camps, hoping to gain approval and receive mere scraps in return.

This aggression mirrors the actions of the Jewish army during the genocide in Gaza. It targets civilians by firing upon women, children, and the elderly, using them as human shields. It demolishes mosques, blows up homes, burns them down, and forcibly displaces their residents after besieging them and cutting off water, electricity, and food supplies. It has destroyed infrastructure, surrounded hospitals, and prevented medical teams from assisting the wounded.

This criminal entity does not respect any pact or covenant with believers. Its crimes reflect its deep hatred and hostility toward Islam and Muslims. It persists in its tyranny, continuing to execute its Torah dreams and schemes. It sees the lifeline of criminal America and the treacherous Muslim rulers extended toward it, supplying it with the means of power and survival. Meanwhile, it sees no real action from the Islamic Ummah and its armies to defend the site of our Prophet’s Masrah (saw) and liberate the Blessed Land.

O Ummah of Islam:

It is a great shame and a grave sin that while you possess the material and human capabilities to liberate the Blessed Land from the filth of the Jews, you do nothing. You allow the Jews to spread corruption and commit crimes in the West Bank, just as you remained passive during the aggression in Gaza. We remind and warn you that this criminal entity will not stop at the borders of the Blessed Land. It will continue pursuing its Torah ambitions with the support of Trump, who believes that “Israel is so tiny” and must be expanded. We specifically address the people and armies of Jordan and Egypt, whom Trump wants to turn into hosts for the displaced people of Gaza, as if these lands were his to give away and their people mere subjects to his will. Either you, O Ummah, stand with the people of the Blessed Land, rise to their defense, and thwart the schemes of the Jews and America - by first removing the treacherous rulers and then marching forth to liberate the Blessed Land- or you will face disgrace and the wrath and punishment of Allah in this world and the Akhirah:

[وَإِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمْ]

“And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.” [Muhammad:38].
