Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas:

▪ We held contacts with the mediators and with Mr. Nikolay Mladenov, during which we strongly condemned the criminal operation carried out today by the Zionist occupation army in the Gaza Strip, and the accompanying attacks and shelling that led to the martyrdom of martyrs and the injury of a number of our people.

▪ We call on the mediators and the guarantor parties to exert the utmost pressure on the occupation government to stop these criminal operations and escalating violations, and to compel it to respect the ceasefire agreement and implement its obligations. We also called on them to issue a clear and strong position condemning and denouncing this aggression, and warning against the consequences of its continuation.

▪ These deliberate escalation steps by the occupation aim to undermine the ceasefire agreement, to blow up the efforts made to complete its implementation, and to prepare the atmosphere for continuing the war of extermination and aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip.

▪ The استمرار of these attacks places the mediators and guarantors before an urgent responsibility to move to stop the aggression, and to prevent the occupation government from once again dragging the situation toward escalation and undermining the agreement.
