GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The Hamas Movement has strongly rejected a statement issued by the Board of Peace concerning the Israeli attack on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, accusing the Board of adopting Israel’s narrative and covering up attacks against civilians and medical facilities.
In a press statement on Thursday evening, Hamas said the Board of Peace had endorsed Israel’s misleading account while ignoring the ongoing military offensive and systematic violations targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, particularly hospitals and healthcare facilities.
The Movement said that repeating Israeli allegations about the use of hospitals for military purposes effectively shifts responsibility for the attacks onto the victims.
Hamas described this position as a form of bias that contradicts the Board’s responsibilities and violates the principles of objectivity and justice.
Hamas calls for independent investigation into Nasser Hospital attack
Hamas said the Board of Peace and its representative, Nickolay Mladenov, should have condemned attacks on civilians and medical facilities rather than adopting Israeli claims.
The Movement called for independent international investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding the attack and hold those responsible for violations accountable.
Hamas also condemned the international community’s official silence over Israel’s conduct in Gaza.
It said that the failure of international institutions to respond adequately represents a neglect of their legal and moral responsibilities and provides cover for further Israeli violations.
The Movement urged international organizations to fulfill their obligations, take action to halt attacks against Palestinians, and ensure the protection of civilian infrastructure and medical facilities.
Board of Peace calls for implementation of Trump’s Gaza plan
In its statement concerning the Israeli attack on Nasser Medical Complex, the Board of Peace said the loss of life resulting from the strike underscored the need for the immediate implementation of US President Donald Trump’s comprehensive peace plan without further delay.
The Board called on both Israel and Hamas to immediately fulfill their commitments under the plan, including protecting civilians, maintaining the ceasefire, and advancing the disarmament of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas rejected the Board’s approach, saying that its statement failed to adequately address Israeli responsibility for the attack on the hospital.
Six Palestinians killed in Israeli strike on Nasser Medical Complex
The Israeli strike targeted the Al-Yassin surgery department inside Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Yunis, early Thursday.
According to Palestinian medical sources, the attack killed six Palestinians, including a doctor, and injured more than 20 others.
The bombing struck one of southern Gaza’s most important medical facilities, further threatening healthcare services in a territory already suffering from severe shortages of medical supplies and repeated attacks on hospitals.
The attack comes amid continued reported Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10, 2025, following Arab and US mediation in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
