Hamas has urged the international community and the United Nations to take decisive action following a report by an independent UN investigative committee that confirmed that Israel committed “genocide” against Palestinians in the occupied territories, reports Anadolu Agency.
Hamas, in a statement, stressed that the findings require immediate intervention from states and international bodies to break their silence and compel Israel to implement the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
Hamas called on the UN to translate the report’s conclusions into concrete measures, holding Israel accountable for its actions and preventing further violations against Palestinians.
“The report reaffirms the horrific nature of the crime that the fascist occupation government continues to commit, as well as the unprecedented violations of international laws and humanitarian norms against unarmed civilians, particularly in the Gaza Strip,” the movement said.
It emphasised that report warned that “war crimes and acts of complete genocide” were being carried out in Gaza.
“The report highlights the international community’s disregard for crimes committed against Palestinians,” Hamas added. “This requires a decisive response from states and the United Nations to break the silence, take concrete measures to deter the occupation, stop its crimes, and enforce the implementation of the signed ceasefire agreement.”
Hamas also called on international and national judicial bodies to “seriously engage with the report and hold Israeli leaders accountable as war criminals to ensure they do not evade justice.”
