Hamas minta masyarakat internasional, PBB lindungi warga Palestina
Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, has called on the international community and the United Nations to protect Palestinian civilians from ongoing violence and aggression by Israeli forces.
The recent escalation in violence between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians, including women and children. Hamas has accused Israel of committing war crimes and targeting civilians in its airstrikes and ground operations.
In a statement released by Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem, the group urged the international community to intervene and put pressure on Israel to halt its attacks on Gaza. “We call on the United Nations and the international community to take immediate action to protect the Palestinian people from Israeli aggression and to hold Israel accountable for its crimes,” Qasem said.
Hamas also called on the UN Security Council to convene an emergency meeting to address the situation in Gaza and to ensure the protection of Palestinian civilians. The group has accused Israel of using excessive force and carrying out indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, including residential buildings, schools, and hospitals.
The ongoing violence in Gaza has sparked international condemnation, with many world leaders calling for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations to resolve the long-standing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The UN has also expressed concern over the escalating situation and has called for the protection of civilians in Gaza.
The latest round of violence between Israel and Hamas began after weeks of tensions in Jerusalem, including clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Hamas began firing rockets into Israel in response to the violence in Jerusalem, prompting Israeli airstrikes on Gaza in retaliation.
The cycle of violence between Israel and Hamas has resulted in the deaths of over 200 Palestinians, including at least 59 children, and 12 Israelis, including two children. The situation in Gaza has also led to widespread destruction and displacement, with thousands of Palestinians fleeing their homes to seek shelter in UN-run schools and other makeshift refugee centers.
As the violence continues to escalate, the international community must take immediate action to protect Palestinian civilians and put an end to the bloodshed in Gaza. The UN and world leaders must work together to address the root causes of the conflict and find a peaceful solution that respects the rights and dignity of all people in the region. Hamas’ call for international intervention is a reminder of the urgent need for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.
