The Palestinian Hamas Resistance movement rejected the statements of US National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby who said that the future of Gaza, after the Zionist aggression against it, cannot include Hamas.
Hamas declared today in a statement, “The American statement and other positions similar to those belonging to the administration of President Biden are blatant interference in the affairs of the Palestinian people and a continuation of the custodianship approach it uses to maintain its control over the decisions and choices of the people.”
The movement stressed that it is “an authentic component of the Palestinian people who are steadfast in the face of the occupation and Nazism supported by the American administration, and we will not allow them or anyone else to impose tutelage over the free people of Palestine, who have the final say in choosing their leadership and determining their fate.”
Yesterday, Kirby said in a press conference at the White House that his country “also rejects any role for Hamas and its leaders in any form of governance in Gaza after the war.”
Hamas has also reportedly rejected a Zionist proposal for a two-month ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of all remaining Zionist detainees held be the Resistance.
Reports state the the occupation entity had proposed a pause in fighting to allow for the more than 130 Zionist prisoners to be freed, in return for the release of Palestinians held in barbaric captivity by the Zionist regime.
Top Hamas leaders in Gaza would also be forced to leave the Gaza Strip according to the “proposal.”
Of course the Resistance rejected the proposal, insisting the conditions for a ceasefire are the removal of all occupation forces from the Strip and total end of the offensive.
