The Palestinian presidency and Hamas leadership condemn the “Israeli massacre” in the Al-Shati refugee camp

The Palestinian leadership, represented by President Mahmoud Abbas, and the Hamas movement represented by the head of its political office, Ismail Haniyeh, condemned what was described as the “Israeli massacre”, as a result of the devastating bombing of its warplanes, a house in the Shati Palestinian refugee camp, west of Gaza City, last night.
Gaza – Sputnik. Today, Saturday, the Palestinian presidency confirmed that what it described as the “heinous crime” carried out by the Israeli occupation at dawn, in which an entire family of the Palestinian people was killed, “is a crime that cannot be tolerated.”

Last night, Israeli warplanes bombed a house in the Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, completely destroying it over the heads of its residents, killing ten people, most of them children, in addition to injuring more than thirty people, according to medical sources in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian presidency said, in a statement, “The Israeli war has been going on against the Palestinian people for 73 years, and the latest of these crimes is the extermination of the Abu Hatab family, with their children, women and elders, and the occupation government bears responsibility and repercussions for that.”

She added, “Any calls that give Israel the right to defend itself, referring to the American position, [President Joe] Biden’s statements, are incitement to continued killing, a green light for aggression, the continuation of displacement, property destruction and displacement of citizens, and encouragement of violence and extremism against the Palestinian people.” .

The Palestinian Presidency renewed its call to the international community, led by the UN Security Council and the International Quartet, to provide protection to the Palestinian people, and to pressure the “occupation” government to immediately stop its aggression, as well as to start serious work to end the occupation and implement international legitimacy decisions, stressing that without an independent state with its capital East Jerusalem, there will be no peace or security for anyone.

In a related context, the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, said, “In a new crime against our Palestinian people, the occupation committed a heinous massacre at dawn today in the Beach Camp in Gaza City, as an extension of the massacres it carried out in different areas of the Strip, which confirm the enemy’s impotence and failure Indeed, the size of the dilemma he lives in front of the greatness of the resistance and the surprises of its loyal men. “
