Hamas: US approval of arms deal to Israel confirms complicity in the genocide

In a statement on Sunday the Movement said that “this step confirms the official American complicity and partnership in the genocidal war waged by the fascist occupation army against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of innocent martyrs, in addition to the systematic destruction of cities, residential neighborhoods, and all civil facilities and infrastructure in the Strip.”

Hamas added that “the US administration and its President, Joe Biden, personally bear the political, legal, and moral responsibility for the war crimes committed by Israel against our Palestinian people through this support that violates international law. It serves as a license and green light for the extremist Zionist government to continue its brutal aggression against our people and flagrantly violate all international laws and humanitarian norms.”

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the besieged Gaza Strip, resulting in tens of thousands of civilian martyrs and wounded, the majority of whom are children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive infrastructure destruction.
