Hamas leader Osama Hamdan stated today, Tuesday, that "after 60 days of war, Netanyahu has not been able to secure a victory image in Gaza." He called on Arab and Islamic countries to break the siege on the Gaza Strip and provide assistance, noting that "Jewish rabbis have allowed soldiers to rape non-Jewish women and kill children," holding Netanyahu responsible for the lives of Israeli hostages and for obstructing a prisoner exchange deal. He added, "The horrific massacres against unarmed civilians unveil the retaliatory behavior of the Israeli army due to the scale of losses."
Hamdan held the U.S. administration responsible for the massacres due to supplying Israel with weapons, indicating that "Israeli massacres are not confined to the Gaza Strip but include the West Bank and Jerusalem." He stated, "There are no safe areas throughout the Gaza Strip despite claims and the promotion of the occupation, but the aggression will not succeed in uprooting us from our land." He continued, "What Netanyahu and the Israeli army are doing is a prelude to his defeat and accountability as a war criminal, especially since Netanyahu has been unable to secure a political or military victory image for 60 days." He added, "There will be no negotiations until the aggression against Gaza ceases, and we hold Netanyahu responsible for the lives of the hostages."
He stated that "over 16,000 martyrs have fallen due to the Israeli aggression on Gaza, and the Nazi massacres are not limited only to Gaza." He also called on UNRWA and the World Health Organization to fulfill their responsibilities towards the people of Gaza.
