Hamas Movement said in a statement issued Wednesday that the Israeli Knesset’s approval in a preliminary reading of a draft bill authorizing the execution of Palestinian detainees is an apparent attempt to legalize the systematic killings practiced by the Israeli occupation army against the Palestinian people.
Such racist and criminal move reflects the Israeli occupation government’s fascist tendencies; it represents an extension of the summary executions carried out by the Israeli occupation army in cold blood under the nose of the whole world in complete disregard for the international community and international laws and conventions that criminalize killing on a discriminatory and racist basis the statement reads.
“As we emphasize that such policies and laws will not deter our Palestinian people from continuing their legitimate resistance against the Israeli occupation and colonial settlers we warn the international community and all relevant institutions of the dangers of such Israeli escalation” it added.
The Movement further called for effective global action to punish the Israeli occupation government which had not ceased to kill and incite to the murder of Palestinians – the latest instance of which took place when it allowed Israeli colonial settlers to violently rampage through Huwara village near the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
Hamas also warned against shielding Israeli leaders from punishment a move that would green light further terrorism and aggression against the Palestinian people.
