Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri condemned Friday the report of the US state department on human rights around the world, believing it encourages Israel to continue its policy of murder and criminality.

Abu Zuhri said that the report of the US State Department exonerates the Israeli occupation of the crimes it committed against the Palestinian people, and consideres Israel as a victim.

Abu Zuhri added that the report reverses facts, lacks the minimum of credibility and ethics and increases the fissure between peoples of the region and the US administration.

The US State Department issued Thursday the annual report on human rights around the world, in which it condemned the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and absolved the Israeli occupation.
