Hamas official condemns Israel's ceasefire violations, demands end to genocidal siege
Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi has exposed the Israeli occupation's continued barbarity, charging that it flagrantly violates the truce by persisting in its campaign of massacres and deliberately starving the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Mardawi’s Sunday statement held the United States directly accountable as Israel's primary backer. "We demand the U.S. administration end its hypocrisy and wield its considerable leverage to force the Netanyahu war cabinet to honor every clause of the agreement it has signed," he declared. "There can be no more selectivity or delays while our people suffer."
He warned that Israel's blatant disrespect for the terms of the agreement—crafted after immense Palestinian resistance—reveals its true intent: the continuation of its brutal aggression and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Mardawi urgently called on the global community to abandon its complicit silence and finally fulfill its legal and moral duties. "The world must witness the ongoing genocide: the targeted killings, the deliberate withholding of food and medicine, the wholesale destruction of our society," he stated. "This silence is a green light for more Israeli war crimes."
The official emphasized that only the complete implementation of the ceasefire and a swift transition to its next phase—which includes a permanent end to all Israeli aggression and a full lifting of the deadly siege—can begin to address the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe inflicted upon Gaza's captive population. He framed this as the bare minimum required for justice after months of unrelenting assault on Palestinian life and dignity. (ILKHA)
