The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has condemned the brutal attack carried out by the Israeli military in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, labeling it a war crime. The assault, which took place last night and involved the use of concussion bombs, is being described by the PIJ as a new chapter in a series of atrocities. The group holds the US administration accountable for this latest massacre, citing its role in supplying Israel with weapons and offering diplomatic protection.
In an official statement, the PIJ criticized international institutions, particularly the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, for failing to take swift legal action against Israeli leaders. The statement pointed to individuals such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, calling for their arrest and charging them with war crimes. The PIJ emphasized that the delay in international justice is paid for by the Palestinian people with the blood of their children and women.

The group also criticized nations that continue to host Israeli representatives, calling it a betrayal of the Palestinian cause. Such actions, they argue, only embolden the Israeli government to perpetuate its aggressive military tactics.
In its concluding remarks, the PIJ honored Jordanian martyr Maher al-Jazi as a symbol of resistance, expressing hope that his sacrifice would inspire Arab and Muslim nations to take a stronger stand against both the US administration and the Israeli government.
