Hamas urges Intl. community to turn words into actions to end Israeli occupation

The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has called on the international community to turn its slogans of solidarity with Palestinians into actions to put an end to the decades-long Israeli occupation of their land and enable them to live a dignified life.

The occasion is a UN-organized observance to remind the world of the Palestinian people’s just cause and legitimate rights. It is commemorated worldwide, with officials expressing their support for the Palestinian cause and denouncing the Israeli conduct in the occupied lands.

“Our people’s oppression and daily suffering as a result of occupation and siege should be a constant reminder,” the spokesman of the Gaza-based resistance group further said, the Palestinian Information Center reported.

He added that the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People has been assigned to remind the world of the Palestinian people’s just cause and legitimate rights.

Gaza has been under Israel’s land, air and sea blockade since 2006, with the international community consistently demanding Israel to end it.
