Gaza-Saba:
Sami Abu Zuhri, a leader in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, said that "the movement is open to any proposals that end the aggression on the Gaza Strip, and we are open to any agreement or ideas that end the suffering of the Palestinian people and stop the fire permanently."
Abu Zuhri said in a statement on Tuesday evening: "Hamas responded to the request of mediators to discuss new proposals on a ceasefire agreement." At the same time, he called for "the immediate lifting of the siege on the Gaza Strip."
He added: The movement is open to any agreement or ideas that end the suffering of our people in Gaza, stop the fire permanently, as well as withdraw the occupation from the entire Strip, lift the siege, provide relief, support, and shelter to our people, reconstruction, and the completion of a serious deal for prisoners, according to the statement.
Abu Zuhri added that the enemy destroyed the capabilities of the Civil Defense in Gaza and prevented it from carrying out its role in the northern Gaza Strip.
Abu Zuhri also stressed that the Zionist enemy forces are escalating their military operations against civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern Gaza Strip. He considered that the escalation amounted to a "war of extermination."
The enemy targeted and destroyed the capabilities of the civil defense, preventing it from playing its humanitarian and necessary role in rescuing civilians and addressing the damage caused by the bombardment, he said.
He called on the leaders of the Arab and Islamic nations to announce a historic decision commensurate with the sacrifices of the Palestinian people, to bypass American pressure and dictates, and to impose an immediate break in the siege on the northern Gaza Strip and stop the aggression.
He called on the nation's leaders to work to bring in food, medical, and fuel aid to save the lives of hundreds of thousands in northern Gaza and to heal the wounds of tens of thousands of displaced and wounded.
He also called for effective pressure on the supporters of the occupation to stop its aggression and criminality, and to destroy all the elements of human life.
He called on the printing countries to immediately cut their relations with the occupation entity. "It is inconceivable that many foreign countries should do so while some of our Arab countries insist on their relations and normalization with the occupation," he said.
He appealed to the Arab and Islamic nation leaders, peoples, movements, organizations, bodies and all the free people in the world. He pointed out that the Palestinian people in the northern Gaza Strip have been brutally exterminated for more than three consecutive weeks, such as the massacre of Beit Lahia this morning, which killed 93 martyrs, most of them children and women.
He added: "In addition to the systematic killing and destruction, the occupation army surrounded hospitals, brutally bombed them, deliberately burned them, and took them out of service, as they ran out of all their human, pharmaceutical and health components, and destroyed the capabilities of the civil defense and prevented it from playing its role, which contributed to the large number of martyrs and their spread in the roads without any ability to collect bodies or aid the wounded."
He pointed out that these massacres come in light of the continuation of the policy of siege imposed on the region, the refusal to enter any relief or medical supplies for more than three weeks, and the forced displacement of tens of thousands under the weight of shelling, arrest, torture and ill-treatment, and the prevention of food, medicine and water.
He pointed out that the Zionist enemy arrested more than 600 citizens from northern Gaza in inhumane conditions, naked and piled into trucks, and their fate is not yet known.
He said: "It is no longer acceptable for the leaders and parties of our Arab and Islamic nation to be satisfied with the language of condemnation and statements of condemnation and denunciation, which the occupation has become underestimated and indifferent to, and does not affect its deterrence and stop the series of its criminality."
The statement touched on the Zionist Knesset's vote to ban the work of UNRWA in the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948. He pointed out that "it is a continuation of the Zionist war against our people, their land, their rights and their national cause, and a flagrant violation of all international conventions and laws."
He pointed out that this requires the international community to take urgent action and take a firm position to criminalize this unjust resolution and work to expel the Zionist entity from United Nations institutions and impose sanctions on it.
The Hamas statement considered that Smotrich's renewal of his inflammatory statements calling for the expansion of settlements, the annexation of the occupied territories, and the displacement of the Palestinian people, in light of the ongoing genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, is an extension of the policy of the occupation government, "aggressive fascism", and reveals the extent of the danger of this racist policy to the security and stability of the region.
He called on the countries of the world to reject these statements and to work by all means to stop the crimes of occupation against our land, people, and holy sites.
In its statement, Hamas "saluted the heroic Palestinian resistance" and all the resistance forces in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and elsewhere. She called on all Arab and Islamic forces and free people in the world to engage in a comprehensive confrontation with the Zionist enemy.
Hamas also called for escalating their mass movement and going out in mass and continuous demonstrations and marches in all capitals and squares, and besieging the embassies of the Zionist entity, the American administration, and Western countries that support the occupation.
