The Hamas Movement has called on the UN to include Israel in its annual “List of Shame” for its violations against Palestinian children and to pressure it for the immediate release of all children from its jails.
In a statement on the occasion of the “World Children’s Day” Hamas called on the UN and international human rights groups to protect Palestinian children against Israel’s violations and terrorism and prosecute its war criminals.
The Movement highlighted that over 35 Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces during the current year and 160 others suffer from different forms of psychological and physical torture in Israeli prisons.
“The UN marks the World Children’s Day while the suffering of the Palestinian children who are exposed to the most heinous forms of crime by the Israeli war machine and its systematic racist policy is ongoing” the Movement said.
It described the World Children’s Day as an important occasion for the international community to highlight the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian children at home and abroad and work on protecting them against Israel’s aggressive practices.
