The Palestinian Resistance Hamas responded on Monday to the “fascist” sentiments Israelis expressed during the conference held on Sunday, which discussed “resettling” Gaza and occupying the West Bank by displacing, expelling, and ethnically cleansing Palestinians.
In a statement, Hamas affirmed that the conference “reflects this rogue entity’s disregard for international laws and resolutions and the recent decisions of the International Court of Justice, which demanded that it take all measures to stop the genocide in Gaza.”
Hamas also called on the international community and the United Nations to “take a firm stance against holding this conference and explicitly condemn it as a fascist conference founded on the intent of ethnic cleansing.”
Moreover, Hamas reiterated the call to stop the genocide in Gaza and protect the Palestinian people by implementing the measures ordered by the ICJ.
‘Resettlement Conference’
Thousands of settlers and Israeli officials were in attendance and collectively called for the expansion of the occupation.

All in vain
Israeli war cabinet minister Gadi Eisenkot pointed out last week that talks about the “absolute defeat” of the Palestinian Resistance group Hamas are not true.
“Whoever speaks of absolute defeat is not speaking the truth,” Eisenkot told the Israeli Channel 12 a couple of hours after Netanyahu vowed to continue the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip until what he called “complete victory” over Hamas.
When asked whether the current Israeli leadership is telling the truth to the public, the Israeli war cabinet minister responded with a simple “no”.
Earlier, former Israeli Reserve General Itzhak Brik said “Israel” will not be able to achieve its main war objectives of ending Hamas and its political and military capabilities or retrieving the captives, and this failure would impose on the occupation entity paying a very heavy price.
In a Haaretz op-ed, Brik explained that the upcoming phase of the war on Gaza will be extremely difficult for “Israel”, as it will face several barriers that it has no solutions for so far.
