Hamas on Wednesday welcomed a U.N. Security Council statement, blocked only by the U.S., that called for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire in Gaza.
The Palestinian resistance group said in a statement that Washington’s continued opposition to binding Security Council resolutions makes it "a full partner in the crime against our people.”
Hamas underscores that starvation is a weapon prohibited under international law and exposes "the (Israeli) occupation’s crime in Gaza.”
The Council highlighted the catastrophic humanitarian situation and the risk of famine, particularly for children and civilians.
It described the declaration as an "advanced step,” showing a broad international consensus condemning genocide and the use of starvation in the enclave.
