Why It Matters
The long-running conflict between Israel and Palestine resumed with violence in the Gaza Strip after the October 7, 2023 attacks. Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Gaza, causing thousands of civilian deaths. International organizations and human rights activists described these acts as war crimes and genocide. While Netanyahu constantly denies these allegations, criticism against Israel in the international community is increasing.
In the written statement made by Hamas, it was pointed out that Netanyahu attempted to deny the "systematic genocide" they committed in the Gaza Strip in his speech at the 81st UN General Assembly.
The statement emphasized that Israel can no longer deceive the world countries and the international public with lies and included the following statements:
"Netanyahu's speech was full of empty, pathetic slogans and lies. These blatant lies can no longer deceive the countries of the world or the global public, because the public has seen the brutal war of extermination, the policy of hunger and thirst, which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of children, women and the elderly, and the continuous efforts to destroy the basis of life for more than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip."
The statement pointed out that Israel committed the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip, and reminded that Israel massacred tens of thousands of Palestinians, including children, women and the elderly, in the Gaza Strip.
The statement rejected Netanyahu's definition of the Israeli army as "the most moral army" and said, "Anyone who starves civilians and commits massacres in Gaza cannot be moral." expressions were used.
The statement noted that independent UN committees and reports also described the Israeli army's attacks in the Gaza Strip as "war crimes, inhumane crimes and genocide."
In the statement, it was stated that the sight of the delegation representing many countries leaving the hall while Netanyahu took the podium revealed the "international isolation" surrounding Netanyahu and Israel, and the following was noted:
"The murderer Netanyahu's stories about the brutal war in the Gaza Strip and his denial of the systematic genocide he committed in Gaza are refuted by UN reports and the massacres, hunger and genocide that the world has witnessed, as well as the confessions of Israeli soldiers and officers and the calls of Israeli ministers to kill and displace Palestinians."
The statement also warned about Israel's plans for the occupied West Bank and said, "Netanyahu denies the existence of the Palestinian people in the West Bank and paves the way for settler attacks." It was said.
The statement criticized allowing Netanyahu to speak at the UN podium and said, "Allowing a war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court to take the podium in the UN General Assembly hall and voice his baseless lies is a political mistake." expressions were used.
In the Hamas statement, it was pointed out that Netanyahu "should be in the prisons where terrorist criminals are held to be tried before international and humanitarian justice."
