“Enabling him from the highest platforms in the country to spread his lies is a bad omen for you,” the resistance movement’s Basem Naim said in a statement on Wednesday.
It came ahead of Netanyahu’s address to a joint meeting of Congress. US lawmakers on both sides of the aisle at Congress invited Netanyahu despite political divisions and public outrage.
“Receiving a war criminal in direct contradiction to all your values of freedom, justice and dignity is the last stop in the series of lies and hypocrisy that you are practicing and sets a new stage that portends the demise of this greatest empire in human history.”
“In our literature in the east, we say: ‘A regime of injustice lasts but an hour, while a regime of justice endures until the end of time.’ Countries that practice or support injustice are bound to disappear; it may not be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but it is an inevitable fate.”
Pro-Palestine protesters in the States have gathered inside Capitol Hill.
According to Capitol Police, over 200 demonstrators were staging a sit-in in condemnation of Israel’s barbaric campaign of death, destruction and genocide in Gaza. Police have also arrested scores of demonstrators.
Elsewhere in the statement, the Hamas official said the correct step for law-abiding countries is to "issue an immediate order to arrest the war criminal Netanyahu… in line with the decisions of international judicial institutions, the latest of which was the decision of the International Criminal Court."
“Our people will not forget and will not forgive anyone who wronged them or supported those who wronged them.”
Karim Khan, the ICC prosecutor, has sought an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and his Minister for Military Affairs Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Netanyahu and Gallant are accused, among other war crimes, of “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare” and “intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population” from October 7, 2023.
