Hamas has said the silence of Arab nations and the international community emboldened Israel to continue committing war crimes and massacres against Palestinians, as Israel’s aggression to displace residents in the northern Gaza Strip escalates.
In a statement on Sunday, the Palestinian resistance movement called on Arab and Islamic countries, the UN, and other international bodies to take action to stop the “holocaust” led by the “new Nazis.”
“The criminal Zionist enemy is racing against time with its massacres and atrocities that it commits around the clock against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” read the statement.
“The Arab silence and international impotence have encouraged this fascist criminal enemy to commit further crimes and massacres in its attempt to empty the northern part of the Gaza Strip of its residents,” it added.
The statement came after the “horrific massacre” on Saturday night targeting a densely populated residential area filled with civilians and displaced persons in the Beit Lahia Project area, northern Gaza Strip, killing, according to preliminary reports, at least 73 Palestinians and injuring dozens.
