“The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) welcomes the decision of the International Court of Justice today, which demands the criminal zionist entity to immediately stop its aggression on the city of Rafah, halt all measures that lead to genocide, allow aid into all areas of the Gaza Strip, and permit UN committees to enter and investigate the crimes of genocide.

As the zionist occupation continues to commit the most heinous crimes, horrific massacres, and the war of starvation and siege against unarmed civilians throughout the Gaza Strip, we had expected the International Court of Justice to issue a decision to stop the aggression and genocide against our people throughout the entire Gaza Strip, not just in Rafah. What is happening in Jabalia and other governorates of the Strip is no less criminal and dangerous than what is happening in Rafah.

We call on the international community and the United Nations to pressure the occupation to immediately comply with this decision and to seriously and genuinely proceed in translating all UN resolutions that force the zionist occupation army to stop the genocide it has been committing against our people for more than seven months.

We affirm that the international community and all relevant UN institutions, particularly the UN Security Council, are concerned and obligated not to allow this fascist entity to continue its disregard for all international laws and conventions and to escape accountability and punishment. They are all facing a historic responsibility to achieve the principle of international justice and to commit to supporting our people’s right to freedom and self-determination and the establishment of the Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.”
