GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Hamas affirmed that the Palestinian resistance is exercising its legitimate right to defend its people, land and holy sites in the face of occupation and aggression, and that the attempt to change facts will not succeed in exonerating the occupation from its crimes, nor will it give Washington a moral cover for its biased policies.
This came in a statement on Friday in response to the biased statements of the US National Security Advisor, which equates the executioner with the victim and fully adopts the Israeli narrative.
Hamas stressed that talking about “Israel’s right to defend itself” is a blatant falsification of reality, as the occupier does not have the right to defend its occupation, since it is the aggressor in the first place.
“The decades-long Zionist aggression against our people and the genocidal crimes in Gaza call for condemnation and accountability, not justification and support,” Hamas said.
It pointed out that the claim that “Hamas chose war instead of releasing the hostages” is a reversal of the facts, as the Palestinian resistance presented clear initiatives for reaching a ceasefire and a comprehensive exchange deal, but Israel, led by Netanyahu, rejected them and deliberately thwarted them to achieve his political interests, as admitted by Israeli security service officials themselves.
The Movement stressed that talking about the possibility of extending the ceasefire once the resistance releases all prisoners is a deliberate disregard for the fact that Israel was not serious in implementing the terms of the ceasefire agreement, and did not abide by any of its terms; rather it continued killing, starving the people through tightening the siege, which failed the understandings and torpedoed the chances of an extension.
“The US statements reveal once again the full US partnership in the aggression against our people, and its complicity with the occupation in committing crimes of extermination, starvation and tightening the siege against more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including thousands of children, women and innocent civilians,” Hamas said.
It concluded by emphasizing that attempts to change facts will not succeed, and history will record who stood with truth and who colluded with murder.
