The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) expressed its deep appreciation for the African Union’s final statement, which courageously condemned the brutal Zionist war on Gaza and rejected the occupation’s violations of international law.
“The statement also recognized the occupation’s perpetration of genocide against our people, called for its prosecution in international courts, and emphasized the necessity of ending all forms of collaboration and normalization with the occupation until it ceases its aggression and occupation,” Hamas said in a statement on Monday.
Hamas considered such genuine position by the AU member states as a natural extension of their historical struggle against colonization and injustice, and their unwavering support for the values of freedom, justice, and the peoples’ right to self-determination.
The movement stressed that “Such strong stance constitutes a massive source of support for the Palestinian people and their resistance in confronting the occupation’s crimes. It also conveys a clear message to the international community to assume its responsibility in putting an end to the Zionist entity’s aggression and holding its criminal leaders accountable.”
Hamas called on AU members to turn such position into practical measures by intensifying the political and legal pressures on the occupation, building up support for the Palestinian cause in international arenas, and strengthening our people’s steadfastness until regaining their freedom and establishing their independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
