The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” welcomed the UN Security Council’s call today for an immediate ceasefire, and stressed the necessity of reaching a permanent ceasefire that would lead to the withdrawal of all Zionist forces from the Gaza Strip, and the return of the displaced to their homes.
“Hamas” affirmed “readiness to engage in an immediate prisoner exchange process that will lead to the release of prisoners on both sides.”
It also stressed “the importance of the freedom of movement of Palestinian citizens and the entry of all humanitarian needs to all residents, in all areas of the Gaza Strip, including heavy equipment to remove rubble, so that martyrs who have remained under the rubble for months can be decently buried.
The Hamas movement called on the Security Council to pressure the occupation to adhere to the ceasefire and stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, affirming the Palestinians’ right to establish their independent, sovereign Palestinian stat
e with Jerusalem as its capital, and the right of return and self-determination, in accordance with international resolutions and international law.”
“Hamas” praised “the efforts of the brothers in Algeria and all the countries in the Security Council that supported and support our people, and are working to stop the Zionist aggression and genocide.”
