The Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouq called on the UN Security Council to
take urgent action to stop the genocidal massacres in the Gaza Strip, based
on Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.

The head of Hamas’s Department of International Relations and Legal Affairs
said that the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army against the
displaced people in the UNRWA school, on the pretext of the presence of
military leaders, carries a message that it is continuing the battle and is
venting all the efforts being made to stop the war.

Chapter VII of the UN Charter deals with the actions taken by the Security
Council in cases that threaten peace, breach of peace, and acts of
aggression, and consists of 13 articles from Article 39 to 51.

The Council has the authority to take the decisions and measures it deems
appropriate according to its absolute discretionary power, and uses various
means to implement its decisions based on this chapter. The decisions it
issues are binding on all states, and no state can evade them even if it
was not a party or partner to the agreement or even if it did not agree
with the decision.

Abu Marzouq stressed in statements to Al-Arabiya TV that the political and
military behavior of the United States with Israel negates its claims of
making diplomatic efforts to end the war.

He added, “The United States claims that it wants a ceasefire, and at the
same time it is sending three billion dollars’ worth of ammunition to the
entity (Israel), this means more killing and encouragement of more killing,
and this is the hypocrisy practiced by the Americans.”

Abu Marzouq continued, “This American hypocrisy must stop, and the Security
Council must stop these massacres under Chapter Seven, because the
international will cannot remain a plaything in the hands of Netanyahu.”

The Hamas leader pointed out that the international community, the Security
Council, the International Criminal Court and others say that Israel is
practicing genocide, “and the only party that has deviated from this
international consensus is the United States, which is obstructing the
ceasefire.”

Abu Marzouq directed criticism towards Egypt, saying that “it has special
responsibilities towards the Gaza Strip and cannot consider itself a
mediator.”

He went on to say, “Egypt is the one that signed the Camp David Accords
with Israel, and created the Philadelphia Corridor between the Palestinians
and Egyptians, and now it has allowed the Israelis to be present in this
corridor; Egypt has special responsibilities to stop these massacres, and
it is capable of stopping them in one day.”

He added, “The medicines and food available on the Egyptian side are
sufficient to treat and feed the people of Gaza. The nation and the
international community cannot remain silent like the silence of the graves
in the face of what is happening against our people in Palestine.”

He stressed that Hamas has responded to all the requests of the mediators
in Egypt and Qatar, “the latest of which is Biden’s own initiative, and we
agreed to the amendments presented by the Israelis and Americans; but
Netanyahu has set new conditions.”

He pointed out that the trilateral call for ceasefire negotiations “is a
floating call, and what is required is the application of what has been
agreed upon,” stressing Hamas’s welcome to all the efforts made to achieve
this goal.
