Hamas issued a statement criticizing Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir's visit to a building demolition site in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Al-Tur. Hamas described the visit as provocative and indicative of organized terror by the Israeli government.

The statement further alleged that the demolitions, including a five-story residential building in Al-Tur, were part of election propaganda by Israeli leaders. Hamas called on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene and urged the public to resist the demolitions.
