Hamas:

Hamas:

- It condemns what was stated in the statement of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the anniversary of October 7, and believes that it included inaccuracies and narratives proven to be false.

- It refuses to re-promote allegations related to harming civilians, sexual assaults, and the abuse of prisoners, and says that a number of investigations and reports have refuted them.

- It considers that the statement adopted the Israeli narrative and detached the events of October 7 from their historical and political context.

- It affirms that ignoring decades of occupation, blockade, massacres, and violations against Palestinians removes the events from their roots and causes.

- It criticizes the language used in the statement to describe the war in Gaza, considering that it minimized the scale of the massacre, destruction, and violations that affected civilians and infrastructure.

- It affirms that what happened in Gaza represents widespread crimes against children, women, and the elderly, in addition to the systematic destruction of cities and civil facilities.

- Calls on the UN Secretary-General to retract what it described as defamation contained in his statement. - Calls on the United Nations and its institutions to assume their responsibility in ending the occupation and stopping the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people.

- Demands urgent intervention to provide aid to more than two million Palestinians trapped in the Gaza Strip.

- Calls for holding occupation leaders accountable before international courts for the crimes committed against Palestinians.
