The head of Hamas’ Political Bureau on June 8 reaffirmed Saturday that resistance forces would continue to defend Palestinian rights against Israel after attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.
In a statement, Ismail Haniyeh asserted that Israel “continues to massacre Palestinian children and women in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp and Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.”
He said Israel has refused to halt its “war of annihilation” against the Palestinian people despite the world labeling Tel Aviv a “child murderer” – a reference to the UN adding Israel to the blacklist of countries and organizations that harm children in conflict zones.
“Our people will not surrender, the resistance will continue to defend our rights against this murderous enemy,” he added.
Haniyeh emphasized that if Israel “believes it can impose its choices on the Palestinians, it must understand that that is delusional.”
Meanwhile, a group of protesters, on June 7, gathered in front of the German Embassy in Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv, called on Berlin to halt arms exports to Israel, Anadolu Agency reports.
Protesters sitting at the entrance of the Embassy held signs, reading “Stop arming Israel”, “Don’t you have enough blood on your hands?” and “For once, be on the right side of history.”
The protesters also chanted slogans such as “Germany, you can’t hide, you’re complicit in genocide.”
