The Palestinian group Hamas stated that the October 7th attacks were not the beginning of the conflict, but rather a result of decades of Israeli policies, aggression, and blockade in the Palestinian territories. In a statement, Hamas also held the United States and mediators responsible for compelling Israel to adhere to its commitments, implement a "roadmap," and ensure aid delivery to Gaza.
Hamas claimed that Israel continues a "silent genocide" despite a ceasefire, having killed approximately 1,500 Palestinians since the agreement. The group further reported that over 74,000 Palestinians have been killed and around 175,000 injured since the war began, describing these as "documented genocide crimes."
The organization called for a unified Palestinian struggle strategy involving various factions to counter the Israeli government. Hamas asserted that Palestinian resilience and return to their homes, despite destruction, have thwarted alleged plans for displacement and ethnic cleansing.
Furthermore, Hamas urged the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice to prosecute Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders, preventing them from evading accountability. The group contended that Israel's alleged crimes are eroding its legitimacy, turning it into an "outcast entity and a moral burden on the world."
