Hamas statement on Israeli occupation’s abandonment of responsibility towards Gaza’s hardships

The Israeli occupation’s insistence to hold Hamas responsible for what is going on in the Gaza Strip is intended to invent pretexts to continue its siege, bombing, and aggression and to evade responsibility for the suffering of two million Palestinians trapped in the coastal strip amid a catastrophic humanitarian crisis and the outbreak of the coronavirus, Hamas Spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum said.

What determines the features of the coming phase is the behaviour and policies of the Israeli occupation, which is still acting aggressively and in not abiding by the measures to end its blockade, while banning the entry of medical supplies and equipment needed to fight off the coronavirus pandemic, he added.
