The Palestinian Resistance groups confirm that the Israeli occupation is trying to cover up its military failure in Gaza by committing ongoing crimes and massacres.

Palestinian Resistance factions held Washington responsible for the horrific massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in Rafah against forcibly displaced families residing in a tent city.

In a statement, Hamas held US President Joe Biden fully responsible for this massacre.

The group said that the crime was a "blatant challenge, complete disregard, and defiance" of the International Court of Justice's decision that demanded it cease its aggression on Rafah.

Hamas asserted that the occupation would not have committed this massacre without American support and the green light to invade Rafah, despite the city being full of displaced families.

The movement demanded the immediate and urgent implementation of the ICJ's decisions and pressure to stop the Israeli massacres and the bloodshed of civilians. It emphasized that the international community, the United Nations, and all relevant parties must act urgently to stop the genocide against the Palestinian people.

Similarly, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement stated that targeting civilians in centers sheltering the forcibly displaced underscores the depth of the military failure that the occupation has faced on the battlefield.

It also held the US responsible for the Israeli crimes in Gaza, which comes as a direct result of cover provided by Washington.

The PIJ said that the Israeli crimes in Gaza come as a result of the cover provided by Washington, the weak stances of Arab governments, and the positions of some European states.

For its part, al-Mujahideen Brigades affirmed that the Israeli occupation, exploiting the international silence and incompetence, is attempting through its ongoing crimes to "escape its military failures in Gaza in the face of the resilience and innovation of the ongoing Resistance."

The brigades stressed that the occupation "will not weaken the determination of the Palestinian people," and that "its cowardly crimes will only strengthen our resolve to expel the entity from our land and destroy its terrorist army."

A genocide sponsored by the United States

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in turn, demanded in the name of the "pure blood of the innocent spilled" in the Israeli massacre in Rafah, that the Arab nation rise and "end its stagnation," calling on friendly countries to "file clear and direct complaints against the United States and its president as partners in war crimes against the Palestinian people."

The front added that the horrific crime of the occupation in Rafah "expresses its decision to deliberately breach all laws and conventions and directly challenge the decisions of the International Court of Justice, which are no longer sufficient at all."

Additionally, the Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine pointed out the direct role of the United States in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The committees said in a statement that the people of the Strip "are being killed and slaughtered with American weapons, decisions, and support for the Nazi Zionist entity," adding that the US "is also fiercely defending the crimes of this Nazi enemy and its terrorist leaders."

"The enemy's massacres, its ongoing slaughter, and growing crimes will not change the clear truth that this entity is in a state of defeat and failure," the statement read, adding that "the Rafah massacre is an attempt to cover up this truth," which is now " eating into this criminal entity, laying the foundation for its demise, collapse, and internal disintegration."
