The Hamas political wing, describing itself as part of the 'resistance,' issued a statement Thursday accusing Israel of waging a 'war of extermination' through siege, starvation, and killing. The group called for an end to 'aggression,' the lifting of the siege, and the opening of all crossings — not merely limited aid entry, according to the statement circulated by the group.
The Hamas political wing issued a statement Thursday, accusing Israel of continuing a 'war of extermination' against the Gaza Strip through siege, starvation, and killing. The group called for an end to 'aggression,' the lifting of the siege, and the full opening of all crossings — framing the demand as essential for 'saving the Gaza Strip' rather than merely allowing limited aid.
The statement follows a pattern of Hamas political and military figures issuing public declarations about the conflict. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Hamas officials have repeatedly called for international pressure on Israel and have maintained a narrative of 'resistance.' The group's military spokesman has previously called on Arab citizens of Israel and Palestinians in the West Bank to escalate attacks. The claims in the present statement about an 'extermination' campaign are unverified and reflect the group's political messaging rather than independently confirmed fact.
