The remarks of US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, about expanding the Israeli settlement in the West Bank confirm US complicity with Israel against the Palestinian people, said Hamas International Relations Office in a statement, a copy of which obtained by Safa.

"In fact, Friedman doesn’t behave as an ambassador of a great country supposedly committed to the international law which denounces settlement and considers it a flagrant violation, but he acts as an extremist settler who incites chaos and instability," said Basem Naim, a member of Hamas International Relations Office.

"By taking such stances, the US ambassador enhances the law of the jungle that will have bitter outcomes on all," Naim added.

He reaffirmed that "this position is shameful and rejected. It is also against diplomatic norms. We see it as a direct violation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people."

It is worth mentioning that Friedman called for the expansion of Israeli settlement in response to killing an Israeli female settler in Jenin, north of West Bank.
