Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said that the Israeli occupation is“racing against time in its massacres and atrocities that it commits around the clock,” adding that“Arab silence and international inability have encouraged this criminal fascist enemy to commit more crimes and massacres, to empty the northern Gaza Strip of its residents.”

The movement also called on“the Arab and Islamic peoples and the free people of the world to exert more pressure on the regimes and international organizations to leave the box of condemnation and denunciation and assume their responsibility in stopping this holocaust.”
