Hamas said in a statement that the United States has “full responsibility” for the Israeli attacks on the dawn on Tuesday, 18. According to the group, “the admission of the US government that it was previously informed about Israel’s aggression confirms its direct partnership in genocide against our people”.
Hamas’s note adds: “This recognition reveals, once again, the complicity and the wide bias of the US in favor of the occupation of Israel, unmasking the falseness of their allegations about the commitment to the truce.” The group points out that, with the political and military support “unrestricted” to the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Washington assumes full responsibility for massacres and the death of women and children in Gaza.” Hamas calls for an international action “urgent”.
On Monday, 17, the group warned that Israel’s new offensive against Gaza violates the ceasefire agreement and endangers hostages and prisoners on both sides of the conflict.
