Gaza – SABA:
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the statements of Benjamin Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal before the International Criminal Court (ICC), regarding his intention to occupy the Gaza Strip without retaining it and handing it over to Arab forces that do not threaten the occupying entity, describing it as a continuation of the genocidal and displacement policies through further crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA) on Thursday, Hamas affirmed:
- "Netanyahu's statements represent a blatant reversal of the negotiation process and clearly expose the real motives behind his withdrawal from the latest round of talks, despite being close to reaching a final agreement."
- "Netanyahu's plans to expand the aggression confirm beyond any doubt that he seeks to eliminate his captives and sacrifice them to serve his personal interests and extremist ideological agenda."
The movement emphasized:
- "Gaza will remain defiant against the enemy and all attempts to impose trusteeship over it."
- "Expanding the aggression against our Palestinian people will not be a walk in the park—the cost will be heavy and costly for the occupation and its Nazi army."
Hamas called on:
- Arab and Islamic nations
- The international community
To:
1. Condemn and reject these dangerous statements.
2. Take urgent action to stop the aggression and end the occupation.
3. Enable our people to exercise their right to self-determination.
4. Hold enemy leaders accountable for their ongoing crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.
