PNN – The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the insistence of the US President Joe Biden’s government to continue sending weapons and ammunition to the Zionist regime and emphasized that this insistence of the White House shows its complicity in Tel Aviv’s war of aggression against the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian genocide.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Palestinian news agencies, The Hamas movement emphasized in its statement on Saturday night: The insistence of the Biden government on its biased position and unlimited political and military support for the Zionist occupation regime and its failed policies in the field of genocide and displacing Palestinians from their land, shows the falsehood of Washington’s claims about [understanding] the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and tragedies that the Zionist killing machine supported by Washington has created in this region.
The Hamas movement clarified: American claims about supporting civilians are made only with the aim of deceiving public opinion and covering up the occupation’s continuous crimes against the people of the Gaza Strip.
This movement further asked the international community and the United Nations to approve the complete ban on sending weapons to the criminal Zionist regime and to take the necessary measures to stop this regime’s encroachment on the Gaza Strip and to punish the heads and commanders of the army of this regime for committing crimes against humanity to adopt.
According to knowledgeable officials in the Department of Defense (Pentagon) and the US Department of State, the new weapons packages include more than 1,800 2,000-pound bombs called MK-82 and 500 500-pound bombs.

Previous reports have attributed the Israeli regime’s use of 2,000-pound bombs as the reason for the massive civilian casualties in Gaza.
The Washington Post added: The provision of this military aid to Israel shows that while there is a dispute between the United States and Israel over the continuation of the war, the Biden administration does not link the military aid to Tel Aviv to the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to this newspaper, a White House official said: We continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself. It has not been our policy to make military aid conditional.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance groups launched the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation from Gaza against the positions of the Israeli regime, and finally, on November 24, 2023, a four-day temporary ceasefire was established, or the pause for the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and the Zionist regime.
This pause in the war continued for seven days and finally on Friday morning (December 1, 2023) the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks against Gaza.
In order to retaliate against the attacks of the “Al-Aqsa Storm”, to compensate for its defeat and stop the resistance operations, this regime, with the support of the United States and some Western countries, has closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip and is bombarding this area. These crimes caused the authorities of Tel Aviv to be presented to the International Court of Justice on the charge of “genocide”.
