Hamas: US move will neither give legitimacy to Israeli occupation nor change Jerusalem’s history

Hamas Movement said, in a press release issued on Friday, that moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem Al-Quds would explode the entire region.

"Such a move will neither give legitimacy to Israeli occupation nor change Jerusalem’s history," spokesman for the group Abdulatif Qanu’a said.

"The US decision is a flagrant violation of international laws and resolutions," he added.

For his part, Hamas official Hazem Qassem considered the Palestinian angry protests throughout the occupied territories a clear response to the US decision.

Earlier on Friday, two US officials revealed that the new US Embassy in Jerusalem Al-Quds will open in May 2018 to coincide with the 70th anniversary of establishment of Quds occupier regime.
