The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to take immediate action to halt the Israeli regime’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas said the regime’s actions in the besieged Palestinian territory constitute blatant war crimes and grave violations of international law.

Hamas made the appeal in a statement on Tuesday, following Israeli airstrikes that targeted two separate neighborhoods in Gaza, resulting in the tragic deaths of 21 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The resistance group condemned these atrocities as revealing Israel's "criminal fascist character," saying they clearly constitute war crimes under international law.

Hamas also underscored the pressing need for the UNSC to intervene, halt the brutal genocide, and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Furthermore, it said the United States’ obstruction of international mechanisms meant to address these brutal violations only adds to the complicity in these crimes against humanity, a legacy that history will not forgive.
