GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement said that Israel carried out a “treacherous” attack on besieged and defenseless civilians in order to overturn the Gaza ceasefire deal.
“Netanyahu and his Nazi government resume their aggression and genocidal war against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip,” it said in a statement issued early Tuesday.
“We hold the criminal Netanyahu and the Nazi Zionist occupation fully responsible for the repercussions of the treacherous aggression on Gaza, and on the defenseless civilians and our besieged Palestinian people, who are being subjected to a brutal war and a systematic policy of starvation.”
“Netanyahu and his extremist government are making a decision to overturn the ceasefire agreement, exposing prisoners in Gaza to an unknown fate.”
Hamas has called on the United Nations and the UN Security Council to convene urgently to adopt a resolution obligating the Israeli occupation to halt its aggression and abide by Resolution 2735, which calls for an end to the aggression and Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
The Movement also said it holds Israel “fully responsible for violating and overturning the agreement”.
It further called on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to assume their historic responsibility in supporting the steadfastness and valiant resistance of the Palestinian people, and in breaking the unjust siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.
For its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) accused Israel of “deliberately sabotaging” the ceasefire, which had been in place since January 19.
Israel is continuing its “war of extermination” on Gaza after “deliberately sabotaging all efforts to reach a ceasefire”, PIJ said in a statement.
PIJ said the renewed attack by Netanyahu and his “bloodthirsty Nazi government” will not give Israel “superiority over the resistance, neither on the ground nor in negotiations”.
“We affirm that what Netanyahu and his barbaric army failed to achieve in 15 months of crimes and bloodshed, they will not succeed in achieving again, thanks to the steadfastness of our oppressed people and the courage of our mujahedeen in the fields of… resistance.”
