In a statement issued Thursday, Hamas considered this order 'a step towards supporting the just Palestinian cause and criminalizing the fascist israeli occupation that constantly commits crimes and violations against the Palestinian people, lands, and holy places.'

The Movement concluded by calling on all states and United Nations concerned Agencies and relevant international organizations to file their pleadings and present reports on the illegality of the Israeli occupation and its crimes to the ICJ, thus defending the Palestinian people’s right to freedom.
