Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Hamas issued a special statement commemorating the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, labeling it one of the most severe crimes against any people in modern history, perpetrated by the British government. The group described the declaration as a "promise from one who does not own to one who is not worthy."

Hamas asserted that the colonialist mindset continues to dominate the "occupying entity" and its "fascist government" to this day. They accused this entity of implementing policies of killing, siege, starvation, and expulsion against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, as well as in cities, villages, and refugee camps in the West Bank.

The Fatah movement also echoed the sentiment, using the phrase "a promise from one who does not own to one who is not worthy" in reference to the Balfour Declaration.
