Hamas calls for Israel to be held accountable after UN Gaza probe
Hamas calls for Israel to be held accountable after a UN probe said IDF soldiers may have committed crimes against humanity in their response to Gaza unrest fueled by the Palestinian terror group.
“The report indicates beyond any doubt that the Israeli occupation has committed clear war crimes against the Palestinians who came out to protest peacefully to demand the right of return and lift the siege,” Bassem Naim, a senior official for the Islamist movement that rules the Gaza Strip and is committed to the destruction of Israel, tells AFP.
He calls on “the international community to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for the war crimes that it continues to commit against the Palestinians.”
