The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has held the current United States administration responsible for the aggression against Syria and Iraq, calling its actions adding fuel to a fire. 

Commenting on the violation of both countries' sovereignty, Hamas stated that this would lead to an "escalation of regional tension and increased instability in the region.”

Hamas stressed that "Washington must review its aggressive policies and respect the sovereignty of countries and the interests of the Arab peoples, who will not stand idly by in the face of aggression."

The movement added that the region will "not have stability or peace unless the aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing against our people in the Gaza Strip stops."

Hamas saluted the revolutionary Iraqi and Syrian people, who, along with the Yemeni and Lebanese people, are paying the price for their support of the Palestinian people in resisting the genocide against them.
