DaysofPal- The Hamas Movement said in a statement issued on Tuesday evening that statements are racist and a call for ethnic cleansing.
“We reject his statements regarding the displacement of our people from the Gaza Strip,” the statement reads.
According to Movement, Trump’s statements are racist and constitute a call for ethnic cleansing in order to eliminate the Palestinian cause.
“The plan to move our people from Gaza will not succeed.”
The Movement also stated that it is committed to the cease-fire agreement as long as the occupation commits to it.
Earlier Monday, Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, said that the handover of the Israeli captives “who were scheduled to be released next Saturday will be postponed until further notice, and until the occupation commits to and compensates for the entitlements of the past weeks retroactively.”
The Movement said that its decision to halt the release of captives “until further notice” is meant as a warning to Israel and an attempt to pressure it into fully adhering to the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
Hamas detailed various violations of the agreement by Israel over the past three weeks, including “delaying the return of the displaced to the northern Gaza Strip, targeting them with shelling and gunfire in various areas of the Strip, and not allowing the entry of relief supplies in all their forms according to what was agreed upon.”
Hamas also said that Israel is not allowing tents, prefabricated houses, fuel, or rubble-removing mechanisms into the Strip, stressing that Israel was delaying the entry of essential medicines and hospital supplies.
