Senior Hamas official Basem Naim has described the statement issued on Wednesday by the US-led Board of Peace on the third anniversary of “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” as “racist, biased, and unacceptable in both form and substance.”
In a statement released on Wednesday, Naim said that the Board’s statement was unworthy of an entity meant to uphold international law.
Naim added that the statement adopts a language that cannot serve as a foundation for peace, stability, and prosperity in the region, criticizing the Board’s clear bias towards the Israeli narrative and its disregard for the Palestinian people’s rights and their prolonged suffering.
The Board of Peace’s statement, issued on the third anniversary of the events of October 7, 2023, focused primarily on commemorating Israeli victims and captives, labeling Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists.”
The statement asserted that Israel’s security must form the foundation of any peace process to prevent a recurrence of October 7, while ignoring any mention of the Palestinian people’s rights or suffering.
