Hamas: Israel Reneged on the Ceasefire Agreement, Its Claims Are Baseless
In a related development, Hamas asserted today, Tuesday, that Israel has reneged on the ceasefire agreement and evaded its commitments.
In a statement, Hamas emphasized that Israel’s claims about preparations by the resistance for an attack on its forces “are baseless.”
The movement affirmed that it had adhered to the agreement until the last moment and was keen on its continuation. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “seeking a way out of his internal crises, preferred to reignite the war at the expense of our people’s blood.”
This comes after Israel resumed its war on Gaza at dawn today, launching a brutal assault on residential buildings, displaced persons’ tents, and areas around hospitals throughout the Strip. The attacks resulted in the deaths of more than 350 people and left hundreds wounded, including many in critical condition, within hours.
Hamas held Netanyahu “fully responsible for the consequences of this treacherous aggression against Gaza, unarmed civilians, and our besieged Palestinian people, who are facing a barbaric war and a systematic starvation policy.”
The movement noted that “Netanyahu and his extremist government have decided to overturn the ceasefire agreement, exposing prisoners in Gaza to an unknown fate,” calling on mediators to “hold Netanyahu and the Israeli occupation fully responsible for violating and reneging on the agreement.”
Hamas also urged the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to “assume their historic responsibilities in supporting the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their brave resistance, and in breaking the unjust siege on Gaza.”
Furthermore, Hamas called on the United Nations and the UN Security Council to convene urgently and “issue a binding decision to stop the aggression and enforce Resolution 2735, which calls for an end to the assault and a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.”
