Sند Shlaldeh, father of 17-year-old Karim Shlaldeh killed in Khirbet Hamroush north of Hebron, directed a message to Israeli far-right ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich, Shehab Wire reported. He declared that the Palestinian people will not leave their land nor surrender it to "villains," regardless of the sacrifices required.
The statement came as tensions persist across the occupied West Bank. Shlaldeh rejected any notion that Palestinians would abandon their territory, framing resistance to displacement as a collective duty tied to national allegiance and protection of ancestral lands.
