Hamas called on Friday for intensified international pressure on "Israel" to end its ongoing aggression, which has led to genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement in Gaza over the last 15 months. The group urged the global community "to criminalize Israeli actions, specifically its terrorism, and to bolster support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination."

Hamas calls on the global community to ensure accountability

The Resistance movement further stressed that holding "Israel" accountable for its crimes—both politically and legally—rests on the shoulders of the international community, Arab and Islamic nations, United Nations bodies, and all free peoples. It also urged immediate action to bring an end to the ongoing Israeli aggression.

Hamas emphasized that supporting the Palestinian cause and standing in solidarity with their legitimate rights is a mark of honor for those who oppose the Israeli occupation.

As the world observes the International Day of Human Solidarity, the movement reiterated the scale of the atrocities being committed with the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity carried out by Israeli forces.

With the Israeli aggression entering its 441st day, Hamas urged the international community to fulfill its legal, ethical, and humanitarian responsibilities to halt this unprecedented wave of Israeli violence and terror.

The Israeli genocide continues unabated

The Israeli occupation forces have killed 45,129 Palestinians, while another 107,338 have been injured since October 7, 2023, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Thursday.

The Israeli occupation committed four massacres across the Gaza Strip in 24 hours, killing 32 Palestinians and injuring 94 others who arrived at hospitals.

While some victims were transported to the few partially functioning hospitals, many remain trapped under the rubble or in areas inaccessible to ambulance and Civil Defense teams because of "Israel" impeding rescue efforts.
