News - Middle East: Mahmoud Taha, head of media relations for Hamas in Lebanon, affirmed that the movement is engaging seriously and positively with mediators to end the aggression, lift the blockade, and allow the entry of humanitarian aid.

“We hope to reach an agreement within the coming hours or days that will halt the aggression and put an end to the Zionist rampage,” he said in a statement to Al-Masirah TV on Saturday.

Taha explained that the current proposal on the table is no different from previous ones and blamed the Zionist entity for reneging on past agreements. He called on the US administration to pressure the criminal Netanyahu and his government to reach an agreement and end the aggression fully and immediately.

He further stated that the American administration is complicit in the aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza, noting that the so-called US-Zionist aid centers have been established not to help, but to harm. “We reject them,” he declared.

Taha emphasized that the Zionist enemy does not honor its promises or agreements, and he urged the international community to exert pressure. He also expressed deep appreciation for Yemen’s ongoing support for the Palestinian cause and praised the role of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi.

Since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been devastated, with hospitals, schools, and refugee camps repeatedly targeted. 

The humanitarian situation has further deteriorated following the launch of US-backed aid distribution points on May 27, which have drawn widespread condemnation for turning essential aid into a tool of control. 

These centers have become scenes of deadly violence, where desperate civilians have been met with live fire while seeking food. 

International organizations, including the United Nations, have warned of famine, mass displacement, and a collapse of health services, as Israeli enemy’s siege and bombardment continue unabated.
