Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas): We strongly condemn the Colombian government’s move to open an embassy in occupied Jerusalem

Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas): ▪We strongly condemn the Colombian government’s move to open an embassy in occupied Jerusalem, and consider it a blatant attack on the rights of our Palestinian people and a clear violation of international law and UN resolutions that reject changing the legal status of the city of Jerusalem. We affirm that Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian land. ▪The new Colombian government’s reversal of the honorable positions of former Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who cut ties with the Israeli entity because of its commission of the crime of genocide in Gaza, represents bias and a losing bet on a criminal entity whose international isolation is increasing. ▪We call on the Colombian government to immediately reverse this unfair decision and not proceed with this step, which constitutes a violation of the rights of our Palestinian people and a denial of the justice of their cause and their rights to self-determination and the establishment of their independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Gaza Ministry of Health: the occupation continues to close the Rafah land crossing for the second consecutive week, preventing the evacuation of patients and wounded people for treatment abroad.

Gaza Ministry of Health: ▪the occupation continues to close the Rafah land crossing for the second consecutive week, preventing the evacuation of patients and wounded people for treatment abroad. ▪These practices are an extension of a series of grave violations of international humanitarian law, and a deliberate deprivation of the wounded and sick of their inherent right to treatment. ▪We warn of the repercussions of this closure, which has led to a dangerous and rapid accumulation of critical cases, as waiting lists swell day by day, far exceeding the capacity of the dilapidated and besieged hospitals to absorb or provide even the minimum level of treatment. ▪We call on all relevant parties to exert serious and urgent pressure on the occupation to open the Rafah crossing and all crossings, and to facilitate the departure of critical medical cases to save what can be saved.
