The head of Hamas International Relations, Basem Nail, has condemned the international community for failing to stop the “genocidal war” in Gaza that has killed more than 21,000 people, Al Jazeera reports.

“While these crimes have been committed with Israeli hands, they were sponsored and backed up by the US administration,” he said in a televised statement.

“We, therefore, hold the Biden administration, especially the president [Joe Biden] himself, and his foreign and defense secretaries accountable for their direct role in sponsoring and orchestrating this ongoing genocide against our people.”

“We also hold the international community accountable for their failure to stop the genocide,” Naim added.
