Hamas has called for the formation of global alliances to support the resistance forces, expose Israel’s crimes and provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, TRT World reports.

“A strong global alliance must be formed to support the Palestinian resistance and actively engage with it. We are in a phase where traditional approaches are not suitable for action,” said Ismail Haniyeh, chief of Hamas’ political bureau, speaking via video link during the Freedom for Palestine conference, which kicked off in Istanbul, Turkiye.

He also called for the formation of the Freedom and Justice Alliance for Palestine to expose the Israeli occupation’s crimes as the Palestinian people struggle to achieve freedom.

This alliance, according to Haniyeh, would also aim to break the 17-year siege on Gaza.
