BRICS Summit calls for full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza; Hamas welcomes statement
Leaders of the BRICS nations, convening in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Sunday, issued a strong call for an immediate, permanent, and unconditional ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the need for further negotiations to end the ongoing war.
In their joint final communiqué, the BRICS leaders also:
Stressed the necessity of the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Condemned violations of international humanitarian and international law, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas Responds
In a statement received by SABA News Agency, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) welcomed the BRICS declaration, saying:
'We commend the final statement of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, especially its call for a ceasefire in Gaza, the withdrawal of the occupation army, and its condemnation of war crimes and the use of starvation against civilians.'
Hamas further urged BRICS nations and the international community to:
Exert pressure on the Israeli government to comply with international law.
End the aggression and genocide against innocent civilians.
Lift the illegal siege imposed on over 2.25 million Palestinians in Gaza.
The summit is being held in Brazil over two days (Sunday and Monday) and brings together key member states — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — alongside newly joined or participating countries in an expanded BRICS format. The war in Gaza has dominated much of the agenda amid growing global calls for accountability and an end to the Israeli assault.

Palestinian Journalists Syndicate: More than 100 crimes, attacks against journalists during June
Ramallah - Saba: The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has confirmed that the Israeli occupation army committed more than 100 crimes, attacks and direct violations against journalists in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and within the 1948 territories during the month of June, as part of a systematic escalation targeting press freedom. According to the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa), a documentary report issued by the Syndicate's Press Freedoms Committee on Wednesday indicated that seven journalists were martyred while covering the field, while 16 others were seriously injured by bullets or rocket shrapnel. The attacks also targeted journalists' families, with five relatives martyred as a result of direct shelling. The report also documented the arrest of three journalists by the Israeli occupation army, while four others were brought before military courts. Regarding the media infrastructure, six press institutions were subjected to demolition or forced closure, ten journalists' homes were destroyed, and enemy forces confiscated filming and broadcasting equipment in four documented incidents. The report also documented 22 cases of detention or denial of coverage, eight attacks involving direct gunfire at journalists, seven attacks using sound bombs and toxic tear gas, three cases of physical assault, and three cases of threats and public incitement against journalists. The Syndicate also reported one case of travel ban and two cases of settler attacks on media crews. The report also documented a series of violations perpetrated by the enemy, through security forces and settler members, against Arab and Western media crews covering the fall of Iranian missiles on some areas within the 1948 territories. The report indicated that these figures reflect the wide scope and seriousness of the violations, amid international silence and the ongoing restrictions on journalistic work in the Palestinian territories. This coincides with the continued displacement of hundreds of journalists in search of safety, some of whom have been forced to flee their homes for the fifth or sixth time, far from their homes, a large portion of which has been destroyed. The difficulty of reaching work and communicating with the outside world continued due to the disruption of telecommunications and internet networks, as a result of the enemy army's targeting of broadcasting towers and coverage with shelling and destruction. The report also noted a relative increase in internal attacks against fellow journalists by official or family bodies. These violations are considered alarming and dangerous, given the genocidal aggression practiced by the Israeli enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip in particular, and against the Palestinian people in general.
