Abu Rudeinah condemned what he called "the ongoing Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people," which, according to him, has claimed over 40,000 lives and left more than 100,000 injured in Gaza.
He added that since October 7, more than 700 people have been killed and 11,000 detained in the West Bank, while widespread destruction has affected Palestinian cities, villages, and refugee camps.
“These actions will not bring security or stability but will only fuel further violence and chaos, both in the region and beyond,” Abu Rudeinah said.
He warned that as long as Jerusalem remains occupied, with its holy sites, history, and heritage under threat, the wars witnessed today will continue as they have for the past century.
Abu Rudeinah reiterated that the only solution to the conflict lies in establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
According to WAFA, Abu Rudeinah blamed successive U.S. administrations for the ongoing war, criticizing their political, financial, and military support for Israel’s occupation. He argued that such policies have emboldened further actions against Palestinians and contributed to broader regional instability, including in Syria and Lebanon.
He concluded by emphasizing that the path to peace and stability lies in adhering to Arab and international legitimacy, supported by the majority of nations worldwide, rather than through war or normalization deals.
