​​​​​​​In a statement issued on Friday, Hamas said: “We strongly condemn the criminal American aerial aggression targeting the Ras Issa oil port in Al-Hudaydah province of the Republic of Yemen, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of civilians, including paramedics and port workers.”

Abdulmalik al-Houthi said Thursday that Israel has been starving the Palestinian for almost two months, creating terrible suffering for the people of Gaza, while the Israeli occupation army is also targeting the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank with killing, kidnapping, and systematic destruction to forcibly displace them.

In its statement, Hamas stressed that what Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip is not simply military pressure, but rather “a brutal act of revenge against innocent civilians.”

Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi said the Palestinians have engaged responsibly and seriously with all ceasefire proposals in Gaza.

In a statement, the Palestinian movement said the attack was a “continuation of the war crimes the enemy is committing against our people.”

Hamas said it had made the offer to release New Jersey native Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old soldier in the Israeli occupation army, after receiving a proposal from mediators for negotiations on the second phase of a ceasefire deal, which has halted major fighting since 19 January but has been in limbo for two weeks as Israel refuses to begin negotiations ...

“The Hamas leadership delegation received a proposal from the mediators on Thursday to resume negotiations. The movement responded with responsibility and positivity, submitting its reply early Friday,” the group said in a statement.

In its statement, Hamas stressed that the findings require immediate intervention from states and international bodies to break their silence and compel Israel to implement the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
