News - Middle East: An official with the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement called on Arabs and Muslims to besiege Israeli and American embassies around the world to halt Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“The Arab and Islamic masses must besiege the [Israeli] occupation embassies and the American embassies,” Khalil Al-Hayya was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera on Sunday.

He said, “the occupation’s massacre in the Beit Lahiya project must not go unnoticed,” likening such criminal acts to modern Nazism.

The Israeli regime forces attack on Beit Lahiya on Saturday evening killed at least 73 Palestinians.

Al-Hayya said the Israeli and American leaders want to push Palestinians out and seize control of the besieged land.

“The Zionist occupation [Israel] is carrying out a programmed operation to displace our people in northern Gaza,” he said.

He went on to slam the ongoing Israeli schemes to kill all the Palestinians, particularly the so-called Generals’ Plan, aiming to starve the Gazans to death.

“We doubt that the occupation army will be able to implement the Generals’ Plan, and the enemy is lying when it says that it is not [trying to implement it],” he said.

The Hamas official said the Israelis want to scare away the Palestinians, forcing the people in Gaza to flee their homes.

“Our people in the Gaza Strip will not respond to the Israeli generals’ plan to displace them,” he added. 

“We must remind everyone of their historical responsibility towards the massacres committed by the occupation.”

Muslim inaction makes Israelis crueler’

Another member of the Hamas  political bureau, Izzat al-Resheq, criticized the Muslims, saying their inaction to the Israelis' criminal acts prompted the Tel Aviv leaders to become “crueler.”

Al-Resheq also mentioned the Israeli regime forces recent attack on Beit Lahiya which killed at least 73 people.

The Hamas official pointed out that if the Israelis’ interests were put at risk through a constant response to the regime’s massacres, Tel Aviv’s leaders would not have dared to allow the terrible massacre in Beit Lahyia in northern Gaza to take place.

Al-Resheq said the Zionist regime behaves like a wild animal, and its brutality will not stop until it is hit.

The Israeli regime’s genocidal war on helpless Palestinians trapped in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has claimed the lives of at least 42,519 Gazans and wounded 99,637 more, most of them women and children.
