Fatah has issued a statement saying it holds “the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the bloody massacre” in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, Wafa reports.

Fatah, which controls the Palestinian Authority and has partial administrative power in the occupied West Bank, called on “the world” to help “stop the systematic Israeli war of extermination” in Gaza, Wafa reported, adding it was a Zionist conspiracy to displace Palestinians from their land.

“Palestinian people are being subjected to an organised war of extermination led by the far-right government in Israel with the utmost criminality and hatred,” Fatah added.
