The discussions also took up “the importance of coordination between the resistance movements, especially in Palestine and Lebanon, on all political, security and military developments,” the statement added.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened that Hamas leaders will pay the “full price” amid rising tensions in the occupied West Bank.
Moreover, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth recently reported that the Israeli government is considering the assassination of al-Arouri. According to the widely-circulated newspaper, Israeli authorities believe that al-Arouri is the leader of a movement that attempts to ignite an uprising in the occupied West Bank.
