Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum stated Tuesday that Hamas condemns removing "Israel" from the U.N. List of Shame of states that violate rights of children.

Barhoum said that such move is a reward to the "Israeli" entity for crimes and violations it has been committing against Palestinian children.

"This is in clear compliance with the 'Israeli'  blackmail and pressures that have been practiced on the Secretary-General of the United Nations." Added Barhoum.

"We consider this act as a permission to the occupation to commit more crimes and violations against Palestinian children and civilians, as it is encourages the occupation to shed more Palestinian blood." he continued.

The UN has left "Israel" off its List of Shame of states and armed groups that violate children's rights during conflicts, despite an outcry over the death of more than 500 children in the latest "Israeli" aggression on Gaza.
