Hamas criticized the United States on Wednesday for approving a new arms deal with Israel, accusing Washington of being a full partner in genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. In a statement, Hamas declared that the US administration’s approval of the $20 billion arms deal, which includes fighter jets, missiles, and artillery ammunition, reflects its unlimited support and complete adoption of the aggressive and brutal actions of the “rogue entity” that disregards international laws and regulations.
Hamas further asserted that the continued financial and military support provided by the US to Israel confirms its full partnership in the acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and brutal massacres against the Palestinian people. The statement emphasized that such support for the “rogue occupation entity” in its crimes and violations of international laws and humanitarian norms will not ensure security or victory for Israel. It vowed that the Palestinian people, along with the Arab and Islamic nations, resistance forces, and freedom-loving people worldwide, will continue to confront Israel and its crimes until it is expelled from their land.
The statement follows an announcement by the US State Department that the United States had approved a $20 billion arms sale to Israel, including dozens of advanced fighter jets and air-to-air missiles.
