The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has called for global protests in solidarity with Palestinians, condemning Israel’s genocide and its use of starvation as a weapon against the besieged population of Gaza.

In a statement on Wednesday, Hamas praised the growing "global movement" and "public events" held in cities and capitals around the world to denounce Israel’s genocidal war and starvation policy in Gaza, and to expose what it called “the terrorism of the Zio-Nazi occupation against defenseless civilians.”

"We call for continuing and escalating the popular pressure in all cities and squares on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (August 8,9, and 10), and in the coming days” through rallies, demonstrations and sit-ins outside the embassies of the Israeli regime and its allies, particularly in the US.

The resistance movement urged people across the world to demand opening all crossings to allow the immediate entry of aid into Gaza, and to decry the international community’s inaction on the Israeli crimes against more than two million Palestinians in Gaza.

The statement stressed that the “global movement” should continue until the Israeli aggression on Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the coastal strip is lifted.

Israel launched a US-backed genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the regime's decades-long campaign of death and devastation against Palestinians.

The regime’s genocidal war on Gaza has so far killed at least 61,158 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
