Hamas rejects any military presence of any force in Palestinian territories

GAZA, May 18 (YPA) – The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, emphasized on Friday that any way to bring in aid, including the American pier, is no substitute for opening all land crossings under Palestinian supervision.

In a statement, the movement emphasized its rejection of any military presence of any force in the Palestinian territories.

It stressed the right of the Palestinian people to receive all the aid they need in light of the catastrophe created by the occupation.

Meanwhile, the government media office in Gaza, meanwhile, stressed that the US administration was trying to whitewash its brutality by establishing a pier off the coast of Gaza City.

The media office issued a statement questioning the intentions of the US administration, which is working to manage the genocidal war and form a protective barrier for “Israel.”

The statement underlined that the pier does not cover the Palestinian people’s need for food, and that what it will provide “will not end the famine.”

The statement also demanded the immediate opening of land crossings, questioning the practice of using patchwork and partial solutions while circumventing real ones.

The statement emphasized that land crossings were the most feasible and effective way to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip and demanded the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from the Rafah crossing in light of the increasingly tragic humanitarian disaster.

This announcement came after the US Central Command announced on Thursday the completion of the construction of a floating pier off Gaza, in preparation for the commencement of humanitarian aid transfer.
