The Hamas Movement has welcomed the holding of the extraordinary Arab summit in Cairo to discuss the dangers facing the Palestinian people and their national cause in light of the Israeli attempts to displace them from their land.
In a statement on Tuesday evening, Hamas considered the Cairo summit an “advanced stage of the Arab and Islamic support for the just Palestinian cause.”
Hamas appreciated the statements made by the participating leaders and officials at the Cairo summit, saying the attendees highlighted their countries’ rejection of the Israeli plans to displace the Palestinian people and seize their land and reaffirmed their support for the legitimate Palestinian rights.
Hamas also applauded the Gaza reconstruction plan endorsed by the Arab summit in its final statement, calling for providing the means to ensure its success.
Hamas affirmed its support for any step that serves the Palestinian people’s interests and redresses the impacts of the Israeli aggression and genocidal war on the Palestinian people and their land.
Hamas announced its support for the Arab summit’s decision to form a community support committee responsible for running the affairs of Gaza, including relief and reconstruction efforts.
The Movement called for necessarily taking concrete steps to pressure the Israeli occupation government to respect its obligations under the ceasefire agreement and allow the entry of aid to the Gaza Strip.
According to the summit’s final statement, the Arab leaders issued a warning that any attempts to displace the Palestinian people or to annex any part of the occupied Palestinian territories would lead the region into a new round of conflict, undermine opportunities for stability, and expand the conflict to other countries in the region.
The Arab leaders pledged to provide all types of financial, material, and political support for the implementation of the reconstruction plan, urging the international community to promptly provide the necessary support for the plan, according to the statement.
The Arab leaders also emphasized the urgency of implementing the second and third phases of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, stressing the need for both parties to abide by their obligations, particularly the Israeli side, to achieve a permanent cessation of “aggression” against Gaza.
They demanded that Israel must completely withdraw from the Gaza Strip, including the Philadelphi corridor between Gaza and Egypt, and ensure safe, adequate, and immediate access to humanitarian, shelter, and medical aid without obstacles.
The Arab leaders vowed to work on establishing a trust fund to receive financial pledges from all donor countries and funding institutions to carry out recovery and reconstruction projects in Gaza.
