Hamas official urges neighboring nations to break Gaza siege
Hamas official Osama Hamdan called on neighboring countries to take action to break the siege on the Gaza Strip during a news conference in Beirut on Monday.
Hamdan emphasized the responsibility of neighboring nations to initiate measures to alleviate the blockade on Gaza, stating: "It is the duty of our brothers in the neighboring countries to take the initiative to break the siege on the Gaza Strip."
He underscored the significance of tangible actions on the ground, cautioning against relying solely on political maneuvers. Hamdan reiterated the pivotal role of resistance in shaping the Palestinian cause, particularly citing the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle as a response to Israeli threats.
Regarding recent events in Rafah, Hamdan condemned the potential for further Israeli aggression, characterizing it as indicative of the occupation army's criminal nature. He also criticized the United States' stance, asserting that recent developments have exposed the true intentions behind its calls for freedom and human rights.
Hamdan concluded by urging unity among Palestinians and inviting them to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound from the first day of Ramadan. He emphasized Hamas's readiness to negotiate for the sake of its people while maintaining a commitment to their defense.
The remarks come amidst ongoing efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and promote peace in the region. (ILKHA)
