In an official statement, Hamas welcomed Türkiye's action, characterizing it as a response to the ongoing aggression by the "criminal zionist entity" against Palestinians.

The statement urged Türkiye, alongside other Arab and Islamic countries, to undertake additional measures to deter the occupation's actions and aggression.

It further called upon these nations to exert pressure on US President Joe Biden and his administration to condemn what was described as the occupation's aggressive stance, especially targeting children and women.

The statement emphasized the need for facilitating the safe departure of the injured from Gaza and allowing the entry of essential support and medical aid to assist the distressed population. (ILKHA)
