Gaza & Palestine

Makan Channel: Due to the Israeli elections, the agreement in the Gaza Strip is moving backward.

Hazem Qassem:

▪We are surprised by the statements of the representative of the Peace Council, Mr. Nikolai Mladenov, that Gaza is far from reconstruction, and we consider this a relinquishment of the role assigned to him in what is called the Peace Council. ▪We call on Mladenov to fulfill his role by pressing the occupation to compel it to adhere to what was agreed upon and stop its violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Hamas:

▪We warn against attempts by the occupation government and its army to erase evidence of the brutal crimes committed against our people in the Gaza Strip, through the removal, crushing, and transfer of rubble, amid the presence of the bodies of thousands of missing persons and material evidence of the crimes of genocide committed by the occupation over two years. ▪Tampering with these sites and what they contain of bodies and evidence constitutes a violation of international law and the International Court of Justice ruling calling for the preservation of evidence, and an assault on the dignity of the martyrs and the right of their families to recover the bodies of their sons and bury them. ▪We appreciate the warning by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, that the occupation’s removal, crushing, and transfer of rubble may lead to the erasure of traces of serious crimes committed in the Gaza Strip. ▪We call on the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the competent bodies to move urgently to protect these sites, and to bring in international investigation teams and forensic experts to oversee the recovery of the bodies and the documentation and preservation of evidence. ▪We affirm that the rapid removal of rubble and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip is an urgent humanitarian and national necessity and an inherent right of our people, and that this must be done in a way that ensures the recovery of the bodies of the missing and the preservation of evidence, and prevents the occupation from exploiting these operations to erase the traces of its crimes and evade accountability.

Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi:

▪ The continued killing crimes committed by terrorist settlers and fascist occupation forces against the Palestinian people in the West Bank are an extension of the genocidal war committed by the criminal Netanyahu government in the Gaza Strip before the hearing and sight of the world, which has not put an end to the occupation’s fascism and bloodshed. ▪ We mourn the young martyr Omar Muhammad Tubasi (20 years old), who was killed after being hit by settlers’ bullets during their attack, under the protection of the occupation army, on the town of Hajja, east of Qalqiliya, and we affirm that the escalating Israeli terrorism through systematic killing will be broken on the rock of our people’s resistance, steadfastness, and determination to remain on their land and not leave it to the scum of the earth. ▪ We call on all components of our proud Palestinian people and their national forces to seriously stand before what the Palestinian cause is being subjected to in terms of liquidation operations, land seizure, and the killing of our people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and to work behind a unified plan to protect the land, people, and holy sites from the expansion of the occupation and its settlers. ▪ We affirm that the world’s silence and that of its institutions in the face of this widespread Zionist terrorism, backed by Netanyahu’s government and its criminal ministers, is direct complicity with the occupation’s crimes and disregard for the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and to remain on their land.
