The political bureau of Hamas said they adamantly reject being expelled from their homes and resist Israel’s attempt to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
“We adamantly reject being expelled from our homes once again.” Izzat Alrisheq, member of the political bureau of Hamas, said in a statement.
“We will resist Israel’s attempt to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
“Our unwavering determination is to resist Israel’s pursuit of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, firmly resolved to prevent a second Nakba from unfolding.
“The current developments in Gaza represent an extraordinarily audacious and brutal endeavour to forcibly remove the Palestinian indigenous people from their land.
“Israel has publicly declared its plan to commit genocide against Palestinians.
“The Zionist entity has waged a war of intense bombardment, dropping more than 6,000 bombs on Gaza over the past week with the support of Western governments.
“The intense bombardment by the Zionist entity has tragically killed close to 500 children.
“They have targeted mosques, a church, educational institutions, residences, and medical facilities with bombings, yet it is our people who are erroneously branded as terrorists.
“Today, we have seen the mobilization of millions in the Arab and Muslim worlds, extending their support to the courageous Palestinians in Gaza.
“We express our heartfelt gratitude for their solidarity and implore them to continue, urging them to march to the borders and play their part in this historic juncture that promises the restoration of our freedom and the dignity of all Arabs and Muslims.
“To our allies living in western countries, the free noble people of those societies:
“You too have a role to play—to pressure your governments to abandon their support for Netanyahu and his fascist government.
“To correct the lies of the media, lift this barbaric siege on our people.
“Yes, what the Zionists are doing is inhumane, unprecedented, barbaric, and contravenes all the laws and treaties that the so-called free and democratic countries claim they believe in.

“But our resolve is unbreakable. We will not surrender our legitimate fight for freedom and self-determination. We will either live or stand, or we will die fighting.
