Palestinian resistance groups hold US responsible for renewed bombing of Gaza

Palestinian resistance groups have blamed the US for the resumption of Israel’s brutal war on Gaza as Hamas says the Israeli regime rejected all offers for an extension of the truce.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said Washington openly greenlighted further Israeli attacks, which have so far killed more than 15,000 people in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“The US administration and President [Joe] Biden bear full responsibility for the continuation of Israel war crimes in the Gaza Strip, after their absolute support for it, and the green light they once again granted following the visit of their Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, to the entity yesterday,” the group said in a Friday statement, referring to by Blinken's Thursday remarks that signaled Washington's support for the resumption of Israeli war on Gaza.

Gaza's Ministry of Health says at least 109 people have been killed and hundreds more have been injured as the Israeli regime resumed military operations and targeted residential areas and refugee camps across the densely-populated areas since Friday morning when a week-long truce expired. 

Hamas said the occupation resumed the war after refusing to engage with all the offers for the release of other detainees.

“We hold the occupation responsible for the resumption of the war and aggression on Gaza. Negotiations were held all night for extending the ceasefire, during which the movement offered an exchange of prisoners and the elderly,” the statement said.

“However, the occupation refused to deal with all these offers, as it had already decided to resume its criminal aggression.”

'Fully prepared': Yemen says ready to resume anti-Israeli attacks as truce expires

Yemen says it will stop attacks as soon as the Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip comes to a "complete halt."

The statement stressed that the Palestinian people and the resistance would thwart Israel’s plots and “break the will of the defeated occupation army.”

Separately, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said it holds the American administration fully responsible for the renewal of aggression, as it okayed a continuation of the genocide and massacres against Palestinians.

The PFLP said the Palestinian people have no choice but to resist the Israeli aggression, stressing that the Israeli enemy will fail again in achieving any of its goals, no matter how many times it bombs Palestinians and commits massacres against them.

“The treacherous enemy will fail again and will return defeated, dragging the tails of disappointment and defeat,” it said.

“Certainly, the resistance will write the end of the political future of the war criminal Netanyahu and his gang.”

Moreover, a senior Hezbollah official said Israel resumed its aggression on Gaza after the US decided to do so.

“This war from the beginning has been America’s war against the Palestinian people, and all American positions and the course of events were indicative that America is not just a partner but is the decision-maker on the matter,” Ali Damush, the vice chairman of the executive council of Hezbollah, said in a Friday statement.

He vowed that the resistance in Gaza and the entire region would not let the Israelis achieve their goals in this war and “will not allow the Americans and Israelis to have the upper hand in the region.”
