❗️Hamas:
"The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) values the decision of our brothers in Ansarallah, led by Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, to grant the Zionist enemy a four-day ultimatum before resuming naval operations aimed at imposing a blockade on the occupation’s ports, should its fascist government continue to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid and goods into the Gaza Strip.
This courageous decision, which reflects the deep bond of our brothers in Ansar Allah and the brotherly Yemeni people with Palestine and Jerusalem, is an extension of their blessed support and steadfast backing throughout the past fifteen months of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
We call on the international community and the United Nations to take urgent action to stop the crime of starvation imposed by the occupation government against innocent civilians in Gaza by closing crossings and preventing the entry of humanitarian aid and relief.
We also urge our Arab and Islamic nations to take effective steps to break the siege on their brothers in Gaza and to work through all possible means to thwart the occupation’s fascist plan to starve them and deprive them of their right to life."
