The group has called US Senator Lindsey Graham’s suggestion that Israel strike Gaza with a nuclear bomb “shocking” and “reflective of the depth of his immorality”, Al Jazeera reports.
“It is also reflective of his inherent mentality of colonialism, as well as that of a group of high-ranking politicians in the US, who support the genocide being perpetrated by an occupation army against civilians,” Hamas said in a statement.
Hamas said Graham’s stated position “makes him complicit in the genocidal war on Gaza”.
The group “urged people to denounce such positions and continue pushing for an end to the war against Palestinians in Gaza”.
