Hamas says closing Gaza crossing ‘a crime against humanity’ by Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Hamas terror group blasts Israel’s decision to close the Kerem Shalom crossing over continued violence in the Gaza Strip.
“Netanyahu’s approval of additional measures to intensify the siege and prevent the entry of materials and goods to Gaza is a new crime against humanity,” spokesman Fawzi Barhoum says.
Barhoum also accuses the international community of being silent on “the crime of the suffocating siege on the Gaza Strip” and calls on it to take “immediate action” to end it.
The terror group says Israel will “bear responsibility for the consequences” of the decision.
