GAZA, (PIC)
The Hamas Movement stressed in a statement issued Wednesday evening that it has shown “full positivity” in efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement with Israel.
Hamas has clearly expressed its positive position on what was included in the US president’s proposal, which he came up with on May 31, in which he called for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of the occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction of the coastal enclave, and an exchange of captives, the Movement said.
However, Hamas has belied US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s claim that Israel has accepted US President Joe Biden’s proposal aimed at bringing about a truce in the ongoing Israeli genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.
“While Blinken continues to talk about Israel’s approval of the latest proposal, we have not heard any Israeli official speak of this approval,” Hamas said.
Israel has only “emphasized the continuation of the genocidal war and attacked the proposal that came from Biden,” it noted.
The US top diplomat was trying to “exonerate the Zionist occupation, wash his hands stained with the blood of innocent children, women, and the elderly, and hold the Movement responsible for obstructing conclusion of an agreement.”
This, Hamas added, amounted to “a continuation of the American policy of complicity in the brutal genocide war against our Palestinian people, and allowing the occupation to continue its crime with full American political and military cover.”
The Movement finally called on Washington to rather “apply direct pressure on the fascist occupation government, which is determined to complete the mission of killing and genocide, in flagrant violation of all international laws and treaties.”
