Senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri said on Monday said Israel's intentions to extend its sovereignty over West Bank lands could lead to a military conflict.
"If the move goes through, we in Hamas will oppose this plan in every way," said Arouri. "Hamas acts in a number of ways - political and diplomatic work. we hold talks with all countries around the world to explain our position, the risk and the consequences that will affect Palestine and the world at large. We are not ruling out development in light of Israeli aggression that could lead to escalation and military confrontation."
