Hamas: ‘Israel’s’ Nuseirat Massacre Meant to Block Ceasefire Deal

By Staff, Agencies

The chief of Islamic Resistance Hamas movement, Ismail Haniyeh, stressed that “Israel’s” recent aggression on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip was intended to block any ceasefire agreement.

Haniyeh further highlighted that Washington’s role in the attack made the administration of President Joe Biden “no less criminal” than “Israeli” leaders.

“Israeli” forces launched the raid in broad daylight on Saturday.

Witnesses and journalists on the ground stated that “Israel” bombed residential buildings, leading to higher casualties. Nearly 300 Palestinians were martyred and over 700 wounded the “Israeli” latest act of aggression.

Haniyeh also said Benny Gantz and the commander of the “Israeli” military’s Gaza Division Gadi Eiskenot had resigned from the war cabinet in order to "jump off the boat... before it sinks."

“‘Israel’s’ political system is on the brink of collapse,” Haniyeh stated.

The Hamas official also said Gantz, perceived as an alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu, is no different from the current prime minister. “Both are murderers seeking destruction.”

Gantz quit the cabinet despite pleas from Netanyahu. He had given Netanyahu a June 8 deadline to present a plan for post Gaza war.

Brigadier General Avi Rosenfeld has also already resigned, citing his failure to prevent Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. Two more “Israeli” ministers also resigned after Gantz stepped down.

Separately, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri called on the US administration to pressure the entityto stop the genocide in Gaza.
