Hamas movement condemns Israeli baring of Gaza’s Christians from visiting Bethlehem and Jerusalem at Christmas

We stress that this move is a part of a calculated policy that the Israeli occupation exercises every year. In fact, the Israeli occupation exposes its proclaimed democracy and commitment to human rights by taking such racist moves.

Hamas stresses that the Palestinians are entitled to perform their rituals without any obstacles or bothering.

Accordingly, we call upon the international community to pile pressure on the Israeli occupation and force it to abide by the International Law and International Humanitarian Law that guarantee the right to worship and the right to free movement for people under occupation. Finally, Hamas calls upon the international community to punish the Israeli occupation and Israeli leaders for their racist practices.
