“In light of the statements of the leaders of the Nazi occupation, declaring their intention to expand their ongoing brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip to include the city of Rafah, which is crowded with our displaced people, we warn of the danger of the occupation committing widespread and horrific massacres in the city of Rafah, which contains more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinian citizens, living in poor conditions. Harsh humanity as a result of the continued aggression and the brutal terrorist crimes of the occupation.

“The American administration’s position of not supporting the attack on Rafah does not absolve it of full legal and political responsibility for the consequences of this attack and the resulting massacres of children, women and defenseless civilians. It provides the occupation with open support with the weapons with which the Palestinian people are killed around the clock.

“We call on the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations Security Council to take urgent and serious action to prevent the occupation and its neo-Nazi leaders from committing genocide in the city of Rafah with the aim of displacing our Palestinian people, whose steadfastness, sacrifices and adherence to their land have thwarted the goals of the Nazi occupation.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, February 10, 2024.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
