GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement warned on Sunday that the international system would collapse if it failed to stop Israel’s ongoing crimes in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas stated that the international community’s response to the Israeli crimes embodies an unprecedented image of impotence and imbalance in the international system, warning of its collapse, along with all the values and foundations on which it was founded.
The Israeli army’s brutal crimes in the Gaza Strip, from bombing residential neighborhoods, storming shelters to forced displacement amid bloody massacres, a stifling siege and the destruction of medical infrastructure and hospitals, “represents heinous Zionist crimes against humanity, as well as a war of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
It pointed out that the Israeli army has systematically targeted, in front of the world’s eyes; hospitals, medical centers, and ambulances, killing and arresting doctors and medical staff, and preventing access to the wounded and the martyrs.
Hamas urged the World Health Organization, international institutions, and UN committees to act immediately to facilitate entry of medical supplies, equipment, and teams into the Gaza Strip, particularly Gaza City and the north.
The Movement made an appeal to the Arab and Islamic nations and the free people of the world “to form a comprehensive support front for our people in the Gaza Strip, and to work to stop the ongoing massacres.”
It also urged all forums to apply pressure on the parties and countries supporting the war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, as well as to support the Palestinian people’s right to confront the occupation and to gain their right to freedom and self-determination.
Israel has launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 44,800 victims, mostly women and children, since an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, 2023.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and the blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last month for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former army chief Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on Gaza.
