Hamas said on Tuesday that "the crimes of the occupation are taking place under the cover of the American administration, which bears the responsibility for all the repercussions of this aggression.

"We call on the international community to take measures and actions to force the occupation to end this war and the blockade on Gaza," read a statement by the Palestinianr resistance movement.

“These crimes, which have violated all international norms and laws, are being carried out under the overt political and military cover of the US administration, which bears full responsibility for the consequences of this aggression. We consider it a full partner in the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza,” read the text.

In tandem, the Islamic Jihad said the synchronisation of the Israeli escalation with the visit by US Secretary of State Marc Rubio to Tel Aviv is a declaration that the Trump administration supports war crimes.
