Hamas Rejects Trump’s Allegations as Zionist Propaganda
Hamas has issued a strong condemnation of Trump, criticizing his "blatant bias" and "glaring double standards" in recent statements directed at the resistance movement. The remarks come as Israeli forces escalate their ground offensive in Gaza City.
Hamas issued a statement on Tuesday morning addressing a post made by Trump on Truth Social the previous day. In his post, Trump alleged that reports indicated the group had moved Israeli hostages above ground in Gaza to potentially use them as “human shields” in response to the ongoing Israeli offensive.
Trump characterized the reported action as a “human atrocity” and cautioned that it would signify that “ALL ‘BETS’ ARE OFF,” calling for the swift release of all captives.
Hamas has rejected the allegations, labeling them as “Zionist propaganda.” The group contends that Trump’s attention detracts from the larger narrative, which they describe as Israel’s genocidal conflict.
Hamas has issued a statement asserting that the United States government is fully cognizant of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s role in obstructing efforts to negotiate the release of captives and to put an end to the ongoing violence in Gaza.
The report further indicated that the “continuous systematic destruction and aggressive extermination campaign aimed at Gaza City” poses a direct threat to the lives of any Israeli soldiers captured, holding Netanyahu’s “terrorist government” accountable for the situation.
Hamas has vehemently criticized the international community for its inability to halt what it describes as the Israeli regime’s war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
The movement issued a statement as Israel continued its military operations in Gaza City, targeting high-rise buildings and displacing residents.
Hamas has accused the Israeli military of engaging in actions against Gaza City that amount to ethnic cleansing and genocide.
The report further stated that the regime persists in carrying out these offenses against a backdrop of stark international inaction and an absence of decisive resolve from the global community to halt these activities and bring those responsible to justice.
Hamas has declared that Israel’s actions will not undermine the determination of the Palestinian people. The group vowed to persist in their opposition and ensure that the occupying regime faces significant consequences for its alleged atrocities.
Hamas has issued a warning, stating that the full responsibility for the fate of captives in Gaza lies with Israel’s prime minister, whom they accuse of war crimes. They asserted that the prime minister will not be successful in securing their release through what they described as his criminal policies.
According to the health ministry in Gaza, the Israeli forces have reportedly led to the deaths of at least 64,905 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, in the region since October 7, 2023.
