The Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum stated the following:

The Trump administration’s decision to cut humanitarian aid provided to the Palestinian people is political blackmail reflecting the US immoral demeanor towards the Palestinians and their just cause.

The US decision to stop humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people is in line with the ‘Deal of the Century” that is aimed to liquidate the Palestinian issue.

Therefore, Hamas calls on all international, humanitarian, and legal organisations to condemn the US policies aimed at pressuring the Palestinian people to accept its schemes in the region. Such organisations should shoulder the responsibility of mobilizing support for and siding with the impoverished Palestinians.

We also urge them to tackle the discriminatory behaviour of the US administration that is biased with the Israeli occupation.
