The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirmed its full and precise commitment to implementing the agreement concluded in Shark al-Sheikh to stop the war in Gaza, while the movement listed a number of violations committed by the occupation since the signing of the agreement on October 9, under the auspices of the United States and the mediators Qatar, Turkey and Egypt.
The movement said in a statement that it was fully, accurately and faithfully committed to implementing the agreement, and the mediators or guarantors did not provide any evidence or proof that the movement had violated it or obstructed its implementation. Rather, it worked with all effort and sincerity to implement the agreement in letter and spirit in order to achieve stability and alleviate the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip.
But the occupation authorities – Hamas says – deliberately violated the agreement from the first day of the ceasefire, and committed many serious crimes and violations against civilians. These violations were documented and presented to the mediators, accompanied by pictures, statements, and irrefutable evidence.
These violations were as follows, according to a Hamas statement:
First: Killing and targeting civilians:
The occupation forces deliberately targeted civilians and shot them in the areas where they were allowed to move, which led to the martyrdom of 46 martyrs, in addition to the wounding of 132 citizens with varying injuries by the time the statement was issued at (2:30 PM).
Second: The activity of the occupation forces exceeded the limits of the “yellow line” stipulated in the agreement:
The occupation forces are still imposing their fire control on a strip extending along the temporary withdrawal line known as the “Yellow Line,” at distances ranging from 600 to 1,500 meters south, east, and north of the Gaza Strip, preventing citizens from returning to their places of residence. This is done by firing artillery shells, using quadcopters, and firing from military vehicles and cranes designated for monitoring. The area is approximately The target area is 45 square kilometers, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the temporary withdrawal line, as military vehicles continue to penetrate into this strip.
Third: Non-compliance with the humanitarian protocol:
The agreement stipulates the entry of humanitarian and food aid in large and sufficient quantities in accordance with the understanding of January 19, 2025. However, the occupation forces did not adhere to what was stipulated in the agreement, and took contrary measures, most notably:
1. Preventing the introduction of many essential items such as meat, eggs, chicken and live livestock.
2. The entry of very limited quantities of fuel and cooking gas, as only 3 gas trucks and 29 fuel trucks were allowed to enter within 9 days, while the agreement stipulates the entry of 50 fuel trucks per day, meaning that what entered constitutes 7.1% of what was agreed upon.
3. Closing the “Zikim” crossing, which contributes to receiving aid coming from Jordan.
4. Preventing the entry of agricultural seeds, fodder, fertilizers, and solar panels necessary for agricultural production.
Fourth: Failure to bring in the necessary supplies to restore and rehabilitate the infrastructure:
The agreement stipulates the restarting of the power station, the repair of vital facilities and sewage lines, and the restoration of hospitals. However, the occupation still prevents the entry of the necessary supplies for this, including:
1. Civil defense vehicles and equipment, ambulances, and medical devices and equipment.
2. Materials and supplies for rehabilitating communication networks, roads, water and sanitation.
3. Banks’ liquidity and not replacing old paper currencies that have become obsolete after two years of use.
4. Building materials necessary for the reconstruction of infrastructure, service facilities, hospitals and public bakeries.
Fifth: Released detainees:
The occupation continues its stubbornness and delay in releasing women and children who are still in detention.
2. The occupation has not, to date, committed to providing the movement with an accurate and comprehensive list of the names and data of detainees in its prisons, nor of the names of hundreds of martyrs whose bodies it still holds.
3. The occupation did not commit to allowing the families of detainees released and deported outside Palestine – in the January 19 and October 9 deals – to leave the West Bank to meet their families.
4. The detainees were subjected to beatings, humiliation, and systematic torture, and even those who were released, the occupation continued to insult, starve, and beat them until the moment they were handed over to the Red Cross.
Sixth: Abusting the bodies of martyrs:
In a war crime and a crime against humanity, the resistance received the bodies of (150) martyrs, some of whom were handcuffed and blindfolded, and others whose bodies showed signs of hanging or being crushed under the occupation’s chains, which confirms that the occupation executed them while they were prisoners. Also, most of the bodies’ identities are not yet known, and the movement demands the speedy introduction of a DNA testing device. To identify the martyrs’ identities, in addition to bringing in heavy equipment to remove the rubble under which thousands of martyrs are still lying. What happened is considered a full-fledged war crime and a crime against humanity that requires international accountability and accountability.
The movement concluded its statement by emphasizing adherence to the agreement and implementing it with precision and responsibility, and calling on the mediators and guarantors to oblige the occupation to respect and implement its provisions in letter and spirit, and to stop all breaches and violations that threaten to undermine it.
The Hamas movement holds the occupation authorities fully responsible for any deterioration or collapse of the agreement, and calls on the mediators and the international community to intervene urgently to stop these aggressive practices and ensure the implementation of the agreement in a way that achieves security and stability for our Palestinian people.
