Hamas declares intl. day in support of Gazans, Palestinian prisoners
The head of the Political Bureau of Hamas resistance movement has declared next Saturday, August 3, as a “national and international day in support of Gaza and Palestinian prisoners” in Israeli jails.
Ismail Haniyeh made the announcement in a Sunday statement, calling for “massive participation” in marches and demonstrations to demand a halt to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and an end to the abuse of “heroic Palestinian prisoners” being held in Israeli jails.
He added that the call comes “in light of the ongoing genocide waged by the Nazi Zionist occupation against our people in the Gaza Strip for the tenth consecutive month,” and “the unprecedented rise in the number of martyred prisoners inside the occupation’s prisons and detention centers.”
Haniyeh noted that Palestinian abductees in “Israel’s Guantanamo” are subjected to various kinds of maltreatment and torture, including “psychological and physical torture, slow killing, deprivation of treatment, food and medicine … and field executions.”
The head of Hamas Political Bureau also slammed “international silence and incapacity to stop this aggressive war against our people and prisoners,” as well as the United States’ unbridled support for “and full partnership” in this aggression.
