The leader of the Pakistani religio-political party called for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of Palestine amid the intensified Israeli bombing of Gaza.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said it was the Muslim world’s duty to unite against the Israeli atrocities. He said the countries that claimed to be the champions of human rights were now supporting Israel and sending ships full of weapons to Tel Aviv.
He said the Gaza death toll sparked anger in the Muslim world and huge protests from Washington to London, demanding an immediate ceasefire.
Israel, on the other hand, refused to stop the bombing, even briefly, as proposed by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
It all started on October 7 when Hamas launched surprised attacks on Israel under Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. The Palestinian group said the attacks were a reaction to the Israeli attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the increasing violence by Israel.
In retaliation, Israel started bombing Gaza and the bombing has been continuing without a break for the last 30 days.
