Hazem Qasem, spokesperson for the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), stated that the Zionist occupation’s bombardment of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip which resulted in a massacre of patients and medical staff constitutes a full-fledged war crime and an act of unprecedented terrorism.
Qasem emphasized that the occupation’s continued escalation of crimes and its violation of all humanitarian taboos by targeting hospitals are a direct consequence of the international community’s failure to hold the enemy’s criminal leaders accountable. He held the “Peace Council” and its representative, Mladenov, responsible for this terrorist act, citing their silence regarding the occupation’s crimes and their utter inability to compel the occupation to cease them.
The Hamas spokesperson called upon the Arab and Islamic nations participating in the Peace Council to adopt a serious and firm stance, ensuring that the criminal enemy cannot exploit their participation in the council as a cover for its atrocities.
Qasem further explained that the occupation shows no regard for the efforts of mediators, guarantor states, or the U.S. administration, acting entirely free from any accountability. He stressed that this situation places significant responsibility upon all these parties, necessitating genuine and effective action to halt the ongoing violations and ensure adherence to the ceasefire agreement.
