Hamas has condemned the US for approving another $20 billion in weapons transfers to Israel despite concerns that Israeli forces are routinely violating international law in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, the Palestinian resistance movement said the move “comes within the framework of [the US’s] unlimited support and full adoption of the brutal aggressive behavior of this rogue entity [Israel] from international regulations and laws”.

Hamas added, “The continuation of the US administration’s financial and military support to the Zionist entity confirms once again that it is a full partner in the war of genocide, ethnic cleansing and brutal massacres against our Palestinian people.”
