Palestinian Mujahideen Movement Praises National Delegation and Hamas for Making Mediators' Efforts Successful
Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement strongly condemned, on Saturday, the "international complicity and silence over the continued policy of starvation and suffocating siege, as well as the ongoing crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing against defenseless civilians in shelters and displacement centers—the latest being the horrific massacre at the Mustafa Hafez School—and the cold-blooded killing of starving, besieged civilians as they attempted to receive aid." In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the movement said: "The enemy's persistence in its heinous crimes against our people, who have been exhausted by siege and hunger due to Zionist and American policies, once again exposes the role played by the aid mechanism in killing and brutalizing our people. This inhumane mechanism has become a new death trap, a tool of execution and torment against our people by the Zionist occupation and its supporters." The movement held "the American administration and its president, Trump, fully responsible for this massacre and all crimes against our people, as well as the continuation of the policies of starvation and killing. The U.S. remains a core partner in the schemes and aggression of the Zionist enemy." It called on "international institutions to abandon their policy of silence and helplessness in the face of the Zionist occupation's atrocities—some of the most horrific crimes of genocide and starvation in modern history." The movement also urged "all free people of the world to intensify pressure and activities rejecting the Zionist war of extermination against our people."
