The government in Gaza says the United States has given Israel the green light to continue its crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by rendering support to the regime.
In a statement on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the Government Information Office in Gaza said the Joe Biden administration provides Israel with weapons and military support and therefore is responsible for the continuation of the regime’s killing of civilians in Gaza, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday.
The United States has recently approved providing the Israeli regime with thousands more bombs as Tel Aviv presses ahead with its ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.
Last month Washington authorized arms transfers to Israel worth billions of dollars. The package includes more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, as well as 25 F35A fighter jets.
The statement criticized the international community for failing to put an end to Israel’s criminal acts and genocide against the Palestinians.
All free countries across the world should use every possible means to mount pressure on Israel to stop its genocide and aggression against the Palestinian people, it said.
It added that Israeli fighter jets continued to drop bombs on the Palestinian people amid Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
Israel launched hostilities in Gaza on October 7, 2023 when it was caught off-guard by Operation al-Aqsa Storm. Since then, the regime has killed at least 33,482 people, mostly women and children, and wounded 76,049 others in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the territory.
